There are known knowns, that is to say, these are things that we know...
There is a report that Israel is about to hit Iran.
The US is adding another 20,000 to the reagion. Bush says it's a temporary "surge".
Another battle fleet is heading for the Persian gulf.
Saudi Arabia says it will do whatever it takes to support the Sunni population in Iraq.
There is increasing concern Iran made in PUBLIC by almost all the Arab states. Let's not forget, Iran is Persian country, not Arab one.
Most of the Arab states supported Israels strike against the Hezbollah.
The best time for war in that region is early spring.
US stockpiles of fuel are very high.
We also know there are known unknowns....
I am starting to see a clearer picture. It appears that Israel launched the "suprised over reaction" attack against the Hezbollah in order to reduce it's effectiveness as a Iranian proxy front if there was a war with Iran. They may have appeared to have "lost" the war but now they have a large contingent and much better armed UN forces on their northern flank.
That is to say we know there are some things we do not know........
Is it "if" or is it "when"?

I can think of only one General who would support the premise that an additional 21,000 troups would win the war. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . His name was Custer.
