Little problem is we are there to free the peoples of Iraq from a tyrant, remove him and his goons and any connections that where that sponsored terrorist, rebuild the country with the world communities aid, both humanitarian as well as commericially, and show Saddam America would honor the coalition of the willings agreement that UN Res. 14.. etc.,
meant something other then words. We do have to be carefull as to what type military intervention we take against this two countries. We cannot appear as aggressors. We want to stablilize the region. If we start hacking and whacking Syria with heavy ground/air which means we have to take his whole defensive/offensive g/a and airforce, communication grids etc., so our ground element can move freely about the country and destroy his ground forces, lets face it, it reguires a lot to do that, and we then show the Muslim world and the rest of the goons such as in EU, Canada etc., that we are being aggressors, heaving our might about "recklessly " in their eyes. It remains a delicate situation at best.
Maybe the Iraqi government would understand the need and agree to joint military bases in their country?
