But there has been too much strange s**t going on inside the borders of Iraq on an almost daily/nightly basis. And the rhetoric seems routinely spaced and targeted each day with random breadcrumbs in the press about actions against Iranian saboteurs or accusations against Iranian agents and the intelligence community outside of the DoDInt doesn't appear with the same info that DoDInt seems to have.

I freely admit that there is indeed strange happenings, we have reports that the Iranians are backing Shia militias.

True or not? Personally I can see it happening, but the government has yet to reveal public the reasons why. I do believe though the President is upping the posutre in the Middle East to serve as a warning to Iran and Syria against possible meddling.

If we did get involved in a conflict with Iran, it would be a war fought with aircraft, and long range missiles.

Anyway thanks for the comment, I will try my best in July.
