1. I'm going to go with Syria
They seem to be provoking Syria a little more these days. They will restart the draft in time to have conscripts sent to Iraq to replace the more combat experienced soldiers who will be sent to Syria.

2. Well, there's gold in Brazil, diamonds in South Africa
Whatever resource he wants to "liberate" from its native land. All for the good of democracy of course.

3. Miami
It's close. Easy to attack. Won't bother the furriners much, he can have his brother help out. And, it has lots of resources. Like Disney. Logistics are a snap.
After that, the next country would be Quebec. damn frenchies.


Geography by shrub.

4. Venezuela
Edited on Wed Jun-02-04 07:53 PM by TroubleMan
He's got Chavez in his crosshairs.

Lot's of oil there, too, and we could lauch the invasion from Columbia or Haiti.

18. Second the vote for Venezuela
Largest oil exporter to the US, leftist government,politically unstable, weak army. Of course the excuse will be that we're "freeing" the venezuelans (who are already "free"), and to apply pressure on the colombian rebels (War on drugs? Chimp hasn't used that one yet).

24. Venezuela is CLEARLY a threat to the WTO!
Did I say "WTO?" Um, er, I meant AMERICA!

Yeah, that's the ticket. Venezuela is clearly a threat to AMERICA and we must bring DEMOCRACY to the shores of Caracas!

5. N. Korea

Then the Chimp will be able to dress up like MacArthur and prance around with a pipe in his mouth.

6. Syria maybe
other than that he doesn`t have the forces to invade any other country. Iran has an army and navy-they won`t roll over and play dead. North Korea can destroy up to 25 miles of the South Korean border area in the first barrage of the war.

7. Syria
Nice small weak target. N. Korea has nukes, so forget them. Iran is too big. Even with a draft it would probably be couple years before the military had the manpower to attempt an invasion/occupation of Iran.

9. I think
it will be in the Middle East. Iraq makes a good launching point for aircraft and missiles. Plus the Persian Gulf already has our Atlantic Battle group sitting there.

but don't count out N.Korea, remember they do have WMD's. I personal don't blame them either, it i was on Shrubs shit list I would have a nuke also.

10. They really do need to finish up in Iraq first.
Should it come to that, I would expect the next one would
be a slam-dunk, something Haiti-like but less well armed.
We could do Grenada again, maybe?

22. Clarke had an interesting theory on Grenada in his book.
He points out that Raygun invaded Grenada shortly after the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut. He postulates that Grenada was a sort of "kick the dog" thing, to show those bastards that the mighty U.S.A. could still beat the crap out of someplace, somewhere.

27. I concur
that or Venezuela. It does has a lot of oil, and a Leftist dictator* who's threatening to export his evil ideology of feeding poor people to other countries.

* The definition of dictator has been changed to person voted into high office with massive public support in a fair election. This is why Bush* isn't a dictator.

20. The Grand Duchy of Fenwick
That might be our last, best hope for peace: to convince the big dunce that it really exists, then sit back and try to suppress our giggles as he tries to find it in his trusty atlas :-)

33. RE Sharon and Syria
Sharon has the army to do it. Syria has treated the Palestinians pretty badly too. Maybe this could unify them.

32. Maybe Iran... not sure
Iran seems to be a growing threat but if we show that we mean business they may cease their weapons building activities. I wouldn't call it conquest time since we are handing over sovereignty to Iraq and Afghanistan. That seems like an overstatement.

34. Can't be Iran
Not even shrub is that stupid. well, wait. let me think about that.

Naw, the problem is his friends and co-enablers in the House of Saud are about to lose big-time. I wouldn't be surprised if there a revolution there, in the very , very, near future, and that shrub has made some secret deals to keep them propped up.

Saudi attacks, the undercurrent of hatred, discontent and lack of opportunity throughout that country have made it a tinderbox, second only to the yute movement in Iran. Too many pampered princes, too few jobs and relief from a overly top heavy, abusive burro-cracy.

It may not be an attack so much, as a request for Saud to save their collective ass.

No, Georgie needs a clean, quick victory. Forget Miami, forget Mass., I now think that Micronesia will be the target. Out of the way (hard for newsies to get there) an easy target, (lots of pacific forces available) and a quick victory is guaranteed (they spend 0.03% of their GDP on national defense)
