This administration made a brilliant move by taking Iraq. We are positioned to strike Syria, Iran, etc. Every day that goes by, we get more entrenched in the area. I even believe that it is creating a decoy to centralize terrorists. The broader picture is clear, we own the Middle East now and that had to happen before we could secure our own borders. I love it.

With what? Our military is waaaay overextended as it is. We never should've halved our military in the 1990s.

Agreed. I believe it was Mark Steyn who called it "carefully hung flypaper." Our soldiers can't hunt down the terrorists in Iran, Yemen, Syria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc. But the presence of the U.S. military in Iraq is drawing them to us. Brilliant, IMO.

we own the Middle East now

I'm not as optimistic about this as you are...yet.
