QUOTE "They now have 1,600 centrifuges  a year and a half ago they had 40 centrifuges," said the senior U.N. official. It's only a matter of time now. It's Deja Vu all over again... middle east country defying UN weapons sanctions... QUOTE With the council's latest deadline for Iranian compliance ending Thursday, the report could be followed within days by consultations on new council penalties. It'll be interesting to see what the council does, if anything. |

We don't have the manpower to go to war with another country. Not enough enlisted and not enough officers to lead them.

How many of those are actual combat forces? You can't occupy a country from the sea or the air or by paperworking them to death :-\ How many are in places like Korea? We still have interests over there. How many of those troops returned from a long-term deployment within 12 months ago? Long deployments with high frequency lead to low troop morale. You get the idea. Just defying UN sanctions alone won't be enough. They'll need to be caught attacking us or directly supporting those attacking us. Kind of like something that Stephan (think I spelled his name right) referred to in that War on Iraq thread. BTW, there are reported to be 1,136,125 enlisted and 221,243 officers as of March 31, 2007. Highly doubt 30,000+ officers were accessioned in the past two months. Doubting the 70,000+ enlisted, too. We've lost 8,000+ troops between March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007. From what I can tell, it looks like we haven't had that many active duty since 1997-1998.

If it's really Deja Vu, I can't wait to see what evidence the Bush Administration will exaggerate to all hell to support their case. hehe Come on, I had to say it! And I agree with James on this one, word for word. -------------------- |

From the looks of it, the move into the Gulf of Oman is simply for war games and it is being blown out of proportion. It is one Expeditionary Force, I doubt they would try to invade with that.
