I hope that next year we don't concentrate our troops in Iraq but keep them dispersed.

I have a very bad feeling that right about the time that the bulk of our forces be concentrated on Iraq, some other country will try to open a window of opportunity. What if North Korea decided that it would be the right time to invade South Korea? Or what if China decides to "re-integrate" Taiwan? Hell, what if the both make their move at the same time?

In the Gulf War we used almost all of our forces along with the coalition forces to give Saddam the twisted version of Noah's Ark by raining TNT down on his troops and infrastructure for 40 days and 40 nights. This time around we have less hardware, fewer people in uniform, and I imagine that England will be the only other country to go in with us. Our military is not set up to handle three theaters at the same time. Two might even spread our forces too thin.
