I have to say my thoughts as listed above aren't exactly presented in a coherent fashion. Maybe it represents the chaotic nature of the times.

Osma wanted a Muslim caliphate that was Saudi based, with him or one of his followers in charge. What he might get is a Caliphate that is Teheran based. The Sunnis don't particularily like the idea.

If Iraq goes over the edge into total CW instead of the smouldering embers U have now, the conflict might very well spill over the borders and engulf the whole region in a Muslim vs Muslim Jihad. That would put one he11 of a shock wave into the Global Economy. The US would then be forced into maintaining the peace NO MATTER WHAT THE COST. Instead of 2600 dead in 3 years it might be 2600 dead a week. U say the American people woudn't stand for it. I say if you have NO JOB because Gasoline is $10 to $15 a gallon if U can get it and your facing foreclosure on your house..2600 dead aweek will look like the cost of doing business.
