Our troops are in a war zone being killed, and we know the neighboring hostile country is providing weapons to the killers. The only sensible course is to threaten Iran and prepare to follow through if they do not pull back.

If we don't do that, Iran will continue and increase it's activities and more of our troops (and civilians) will die. We should not stand for that.

move troops out of the cities and to the borders. Let the Iraqi troops/police deal with the cities, with our guys on stand by to come in to take care of situations.

Like we did to the Chinese who were supplying the North Koreans? Or the Russians who were supplying the VC?
We don't have a good track record in this regard and I don't see that changing...
