Dont think the crew in DC has much of a clue. We supported the islamists to keep the socialists/commies out and are now paying the price. What we need is an unstable middle east. The following will indicate why
the Israeli Army outnumbers the US army so a general war would seriously fsck some countries up. Jordan has to play a timid game because of Iraq and the Palestinians. If Israel rolled into Iraq at the same time we came boiling out of Turkey it would be a done deal. The easiest way would be to Polish border the Jordinian/Iraqi border. A few prisoners attacking a Jordanian Radio Tower would suffice the blitz into bhagdad, turn south to mecca, stop respectfully outside while the hashemite kingdom slaughter every wahabi in site then invite the Iranians, Pashto, Indonesian and Sufis to partition the city withe the Hashemites. Meanwhile we secure our oilfields and invite the russians to join in. As long as we stay the hell out of the bend in the volga we will be ok.
thanx,
