False dichotomy. Israel is always an issue in ME conflicts. Doesn't mean Israel is easily pulled into a war.
"You've figured this out but they haven't? They see better than we do what tactics work against us."
I don't buy that they are smarter than we are. They probably aren't stupid enough to pull a full scale frontal assault. But they are stupid enough to continue interference in Iraq's affairs, and they need to be dealt with.
"Your statement is that Iran is raiding on a daily basis (hundreds)into Iraq against us. What's your source? "
U.S. Military and Intelligence. Iran is not crossing the border and raiding and then pulling back across the border as you seem to want to infer. Instead they are sending insurgents accross who stay in Iraq and conduct raids. This IS happening and will continue to happen until they become afraid that the cost to them is going to be too high.
"To what? Your theories based on nothing but your imagination? Show me some facts or source sites.
Do a search yourself. There have been many articles linking Iran to insurgents in Iraq. Just like this article that started this thread that links Syria to insurgents.
"And, btw, the recognized threat from Iran is not land based but maritime. They have the means in place to close off the Straits of Hormuz, disrupting both the flow of oil to the world and our lines of support for our troops in Iraq."
The world got along fine without Iraqi oil during Gulf Wars 1 and 2. Iran's oil threat is not a reason to surrender.
You say that your resource is US Military and intelligence...They lift the skirts for you to peek? Sorry, I don't believe that.
"The world got along fine without Iraqi oil during Gulf Wars 1 and 2."
The Straits carry a lot more than Iraqi oil, but I'm sure that your Military Intelligence sources told you that.
"Iran's oil threat is not a reason to surrender"
Who said anything about surrender?
You have given nothing but supposition based on what you you imagine is truth. And you still haven't answered the original question....where are the troops needed to fight and then occupy Syria and Iran while occupying Iraq going to come from? But, please don't bother.
