No it hasn't. We are right where we want to be. Surrounding Iran.
Mother of All Battles anyone? Afghan winter? Anyone?
Bueller?
Fixed it for you.
Iran is not going to go away, and due to this, we are (bleep)-ed...
Saying that we are 'sapped' is like saying that the German armies were 'sapped' by Poland. They could not invade France.
Well, Sir, so what? If you're wise enough, and brave enough, and don't put politics above our national interests, and indeed our very survival, then does it matter which arm of the axis of evil we take down first?
Those ROP Iranians are making the same mistake as Norieaga did. They have essentially declared war on us. Make no mistake about it Iran will be dealt with. When the time comes, and it's rapidly approaching, all hell will be let loose on them.

Ya think? Did it ever penetrate that Iran is what Iraq is all about. Never mind. return to sweaty fear.
It is the same threat that Iraq was. It's like peeling an onion, Afghanistan was first, Iraq was next, and there will be other layers .
Along the way we may deal with several more of the countries in the Middle East and who knows what we may find at the core.
This is a high stakes game of world politics and every country has to play.
It is a problem that it sapped our will. But the Iraq war was necessary, I was originally for the Iraq war largely because Iraq is the key to Iran. From Iraq you just take Kuzestan, and Iran is done. Now we have them surrounded. We have Afghanistan, Iraq and the good old USN. Iraq tried to take Kuzestan, but failed, of course considering how we rolled over the Iraqi army bodes well for us. Plus the Iranians had air superiority, which they would not against us. Kuzestan is Iran's big weakness. They can talk all they want, but they know it. It is flat desert, so the Iranians will have to come out of their mountains to defend it, and on a open field like that, our air and artillery can wipe them out. Just move forces to the border, Iran pours everything it has into Kuzestan like they did against Iraq. A good test for the MOAB. Plus white phosphorus proved great in Iraq, and firebombs and thermobaric weapons great in Afghanistan. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard thinks it's Sierra Hotel, but lets see how they like burning in fires like Hell. I almost feel sorry for them. Burning to death is supposedly a horrible way to die. But that can be beneficial, the horror will break them, force them to retreat, or die. Not pretty but war never is.
While it is not a greater threat than Iraq was under Saddam the Treason Media, Party of Treason and Hysterical Right have undermined the President to such an extent he cannot act without destroying the GOP in the fall.
