KJI doesn't care about his people but maybe he'd like to start a war between the US and everyone else. The conflict has to start somewhere and who says he has to finish the fight? His people are starving anyway...so what if they get killed. (/sarcasm)
Our Air Force and Navy could eliminate most of that opposition, and when that's all over, we will have not jeopardized our position in Iraq, so the terrorists wouldn't be able to take advantage there, and we will have only used resources that were playing a minor role at most in Iraq, and in doing so we would have destroyed Iran's offensive military, most importantly, their air force and navy, and likely most of their tanks. If they had the audacity to roll into Iraq with them, they'd be dispatched quickly with the forces we have there, not to mention the eager pilots we have who love to rack up tank kills.
And in my way of thinking, once the majority of the Iranian peope, who are pro-western, aren't afraid of the military being turned against them after we've destroyed the balance of it, they may just over throw their oppressive radical regime government and we wouldn't have to do it for them. Maybe, maybe not, but still, the first part of my "scenario" is doable. :)
That document we found in that safe house was GOLD!
