And It Begins...Iran !!!!!!

Strategy PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE...........

What is the Strategy??
Force them into submission?
Iran & Syria also?
Isn't it time to lift sanctions and make friends?
Let them use whatever influence to make some kind
of truce with the insurgents!
We will never get out of this affair looking purty!

Overwhelming force ( which I am not against at this point)
Then make it overwhelming, not just a surge,
that will most definitely fail
for lack of coordination....

All of this make me think......

THERE NEVER WAS A PLAN!!

GW has been riding the seat of his pants this whole time
and now that no plan was in effect.
The emperor has no clothes!

The eagle meant more to Rome than it does to the US as a national symbol.

The eagle was military prestige in Rome, if your army lost their eagle in battle, woe unto them! Decimation time.. line up. It was a travesty to lose the eagle in battle.

Since Rome fell, its natural the wings will be gone from the Lion, if the Lion symbolizes evil. If it symbolizes good then the wings being gone could indeed be a reference to the US, but that could be interpreted in so many different ways; its not really concrete in any way as a symbol of prophecy etc.
