It sounds like if Bush gets back into power that further nations will be invaded.
Here's his quote from Wednesday's debate...
"Yes, we can be safe and secure, if we stay on the offense against the terrorists and if we spread freedom and liberty around the world.
I have got a comprehensive strategy to not only chase down the Al Qaida, wherever it exists — and we're making progress; three-quarters of Al Qaida leaders have been brought to justice — but to make sure that countries that harbor terrorists are held to account."
Also, a lot of the media have been prepping countries as terrorist states, Iran and Syria spring to mind.
Oil reserves:
Iran : 100 billion barrels
Syria : 2.5 billion barrels
Israel have just purchased 500 bunker buster missiles from the u.s. I don't think these are going to be used on the Palestinian refugee camps. This combined with the massive oil reserves and media prepping leads me to believe that, unfortunately, Iran will be Bush's next invasion as part of his comprehensive strategy. 🙁

Just my opinion, but I doubt we invade North Korea. We've been there before. Even the conservatives we have in power in this country don't want to get tangled up in that mess.
Iran though is a whole other story... With the military bases we have in Kuwait, the support we'll get from Saudi Arabia (for a price of course), our complete naval and air control of the Persian gulf, and the new bases we'll have in Iraq once that settles down, I'd say Iran is next in the crosshairs. The logistics for using military force on Iran seem much less complicated than those for North Korea.
Syria makes a more inviting target, especially with it's proximity to Israel, but I think that's just a little too much "Pro Israel" military action for the Middle East leaders to stomach.
So Iran it is. Though I sincerely hope we do not invade. I'm not sure how much more war my country can take.
Originally posted by wibYeah, Iran probably. But the US will be on its own next time. Blair's grip on power is much too tenuous to contemplate another act of poodeldom and I can't imagine many other of the allies would have much appetite for war either.

Originally posted by wibI cannot imagine a war on the Korean penninsula. The devestation to both north and south would be so tragic, as would the end of the soldiers we sent there. Not even Bush...I hope!

I laugh uneasily every time I hear him use this phrase. I envision Bush as a hippie skipping through a meadow throwing flowers everywhere. 🙂
Seriously, he makes it sound that easy. Unfortunately, for everyone he is actually throwing bombs.

Israel will need these bunker buster missiles in case the international bodies fail to dismantle the Iranian nuclear power installations. If these installations will not be removed by political and diplomatic means Israel will use military force to destroy them.
Originally posted by ivanhoeDo you think that's a good move? Do you agree with that move? Should Iran do the same to Israel's nuclear plants?

The Guinness reserves seems like an overestimate to me, that's almost 1 keg for every 2 adults in the country...or perhaps the CIA know something I don't
