Targeted for Termination: who's next in the War on Terror?
So who's next? Which of the 3 countries is next in line to get a forced injection of freedom and liberty from Bush? Thank GOD Bush is "guided" by God to deliver us from EEEEVIIIIILLLL, those motherfuckers who only want to destroy everything we stand for, because foreign policy ever since WW2 has got nothing to do with it!!
GEORGE W. BUSH PRAAAAAISE THE LOOOOORD!!!!!

None of them. The USA does not have the military means to do it by force. All their forces are tied up in Afghanistan and Iraq. They may be able to affect "regime change" by fostering internal rebellion, but the use of force is impossible.

Bush hasn't got the balls to invade a nation that can competently fight back. Look at what a mess we've made of Iraq post-hostilities ending. You think we'd even get that far with the other nations? Pish posh.
Besides, you win the War on Terror (if even the thing was winnable in the first place) by intelligence, not war machines and troops on the ground.

I don't think it will happen because of what Cpl Kendall mentioned above. But I think in happy Bushworld, we invade Iran next because we've got troops stationed in a position to make such a move. Sure it'd be the epitomy of idiocy to launch an invasion from such an unstable support base, but I think Bush believes we can pull it off. That's why I voted Iran.

We won't pick a fight with an enemy who could actually fight a real war against us: Syria. Plus that effects his whole "suck Israeli cock" goal.

Normally, I would agree with you. But then we have to take into account Bush's urges to Flordia GOP members the night before the Election:Master of Ossus wrote:Cuba's not a terrorist nation.

While I highly doubt that Bush will actually keep such a promise, when one takes into account his actions over the last four years, I just don't know..."We will not rest — we will not rest, we will keep the pressure on until the Cuban people enjoy the same freedoms in Havana they receive here in America," Bush said to cries of "Viva Bush!"
Then, in a direct reference to Castro, Bush said, "I strongly believe the people of Cuba should be free from the tyrant."

I doubt any of them.
N-Korea is not that high a priority, it is to geographicaly confined and economicaly crippled to cause much trouble. Even with nukes little Kim's options are limited and the moment he uses a nuke his regime is doomed.
Iran is to big with a nasty Afghan style terrain. The Iranians despise their Ayatollahs and an invasion would only risk rallying the nation against the US. The Iranin nukes are a problem but the US can let the Israeli deal with that problem like they dealt with the simillar Iraqi nukes.
Syria is now completly surrounded by hostiles and I seriously doubt the Syrians are insane enough to give their enemies a reason to strike, not with the example of their fellow Baathists right on their doorstep.

When Bush wants to hear it, suddendly overwhelming evidence will turn up showing that Cuba's been supporting Al Qaida for years now and Castro is spontaneously manufactoring WMD as well to sell them to terrorist organisations.Master of Ossus wrote:Cuba's not a terrorist nation.

None. We don't have enough troops and North Korea is the only country of the three for which we have a pretext as good as Iraq's noncompliance with the peace treaty. And with N. Korea, Seoul will be leveled, unless maybe those bunker busting nukes are developed first. Unless maybe we invaded through Russia... but thats silly.

N. Korea only has a border with China and S. Korea. We can't really do anything about N. Korea until we figure out a way to prevent a terminal case of steel rain on Seoul. We don't know exactly where the guns are, so we can't take them out beforehand.Symmetry wrote:None.
