Very different than the classic army role we are used to. History can evaluate and re-hash what happened in 2003 ragarding the Iraq invasion. At this point, though, we must look at the present. We are in Iraq, we are in Afghanistan, and Iran is funding terrorism throughout the Middle East. While I am tired of the Iraq war, I'm starting to realize that it was only a matter of time until we took out Saddam. The fundamental Islamists were rising, due to their increase in money, and they were determined to escalate their jihad against Israel and the US. Intsead of looking to the US invading Iran, look at them attempting to use this announcement as a way to interupt the money raised and distributed by the Revolutionary Guard. Left unchecked, the Guard will grow more bold in their funding of both the Iraqi Shiites and Hamas.
