If you re-read my posts in the CE forum, and read between the lines, you will find my "sole" position on the Iraq war. That position was to have US ground forces within strike range of Iran.

Take it or leave, that was and is still my gut instinct.

Fast forward to April, and you will have 5 (not 4 as proposed by The President) newly approved by congress for rotation "Active Duty" combat brigades on the ground in theater.

Currently on the ground that can easily conduct a battle hand off to the need to fend for themselves Iraqi forces include enough Screen Cavalry, and two heavy divisions to assault any objective within 600KM of Baghdad! There are enough "light fighters" to remain in theater to hold the country stable. That still leaves a heavy brigade in Korea, and two heavy brigades left in the US, along with two light brigades to protect the homeland. The Airborne and Marine RECON have Afghanistan stable.

Our shores have been protected by US Navy secrets for years, and they remain in place.

@Robert; how much silo maintenance have you seen being conducted recently?
