#4 I don't think it will happen. Take out Iran and Hizbollah bites it. Syria is nothing without the Ayatollahs.

Something else is likely in play.

#6 We live in interesting times!

Perhaps so but we still owe it to ourselves to make Islam's life persistently and extremely "interesting".

#7 "Council of War" soon to be followed by direct-to-video release of "Dude, Where's My Gasoline?". Gonna be hard for ol' Almondinejihad to maintain innocent deniability when the whole middle east is going at it hammer and tongs.

#8 Fine. Break out the tac nukes, the big boys, and enough aircraft to deliver them, both from the US and from Israel. Anywhere in the MME is a valid target, except Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Afghanistan, and within those nations should our troops be told to leave. Put 40 B-1s and 15 B-2s on standby, with ordinance uploaded. Put ALL the sea-borne nukes on full alert. Arm as many Buffs as possible with as many conventional weapons as they can carry, and hold them at the ready. THEN when the nutjobs in Syria and Iran begin something, dump everything but the kitchen sink on them, including a few hundred tac-air assets armed with cluster bombs and napalm. There are no innocents in the MME. When we finish, we should be able to control everything from Libya to Pakistan with half a battalion of boy scouts.

Word, OP. Islam implies guilt by association.
