#1 The longer this china-setting diplomacy goes on, the more time the Irantians have to prepare.

#3 Cap'n - I wouldn't be overly concerned about Persian preparations - they've been doing that for the past 30 to 40 years. Fat lot of good it will do them, though. They cannot win a big war, cannot win a medium war, and really aren't doing so hot at the little war efforts.

On the other hand, decision time for the arabs is fast approaching, and has been underway for a while near both sides of the border.

Now, what the Turks decide will be most interesting.

I think it's a safe bet that they were touched before they confessed -- with tools anyway.

#5 OU - I don't think we have been operations out of Kuwait for three or four decades. While they will not win any sized war with the U.S., I consider our losses incrementally.
