Hmmmm.
If we wanted to defend Taiwan against China it would be a NAVY/AF fight. We have enough Naval power to take them on any day.
In a ground war we'd have issues (Example: Korea if the Chinese were to get involved). But a naval/Air fight? I think we'd take their lunch money from them even with Iraq, Iran, Libya, Philippines....... Our Navy and AF is far from tapped out.

The point to be noted here is "if we wanted to" & given statements from people like Powell & Armitage,Im not exactly sure.
