Many questions arise about the surge. Is the new strategy working? How long will it take to work? Will it stabilize Iraq enough so we can withdrawl? How many extra troops are there? How many more will Bush send?
Amongst all these questions, a few things are clear. The violence and deaths have not abated. The number of US troops deployed in Iraq are increasing, not decreasing as promised. (i.e. We'll stand down as they stand up.) And the rhethoric against Iran is getting more dangerous.
But what of the troops? Where are they going and why do they need more?
The deployment of additional US forces originally called for securing a troubled Al Anbar province and securing Baghdad. But now it appears that the extra forces are being sent to locations other than the original plan.
Surge = Diyala Province
Surge ? Al Anbar Province
Diyala is directly between Baghdad and the Iranian border.
Troops from Al-Anbar are being redeployed to Baghdad.
The surge was originally touted to boost security in Al-Anbar and Baghdad, but IMHO, it appears that the troops are going to Baghdad and Diyala. This would mass troops to the East of Baghdad and in and around the city of Baghdad itself.
This positioning supports defensive operations against any major ground offensive operations originating from Iran. It also may serve as an attack position for counter offensive operations against any major ground offensive operations originating from Iran. Additionally, it can provide on a continual basis, supplemental security to the northern oil fields.

As much as the Zionists in American government would like to obliterate Iran using more American blood, there is a realism setting in some people in the Bush administration that invading Iran will be a fatal mistake. All the noises and threats against Iran are psychological warfare, with the aim to force Iran to bow down to Zionist will. But Iranians will not budge on their rights and America will not invade Iran!
Iraq has taught America a lesson which will deter it from acting foolishly anywhere else for a long time.
The US can't even secure 2 provinces in Iraq..., which by the way are practically empty of residents because the great majority have fled and are now refugees in the desert or in Syria and Jordan. The US army cannot deal with 2 provinces of a few hundred insurgents... How is it going to deal with the Iranians army and 60 million Iranian insurgents?? Iran will never attack the US and never intended to. It simply has no interest in doing so. The US on its own is doing a very good job sinking itself. It doesn't need anybody's assistance for that. The Israel lobby is DYING however to pull Iran into the conflict and have the US continue fighting its dirty wars..., but even Israel is in trouble now after last summers defeat. If you listen to Iranian TV, they dismiss American cowboy style threats as mere psychological warfare. Ahmadinejad has been directly asked on French TV if he feared US threats... and he replied with a little smile saying: "not at all". When the interviewer asked how that could be, Nejad simply told him that the US was simply incapable of launching another war at this stage...
A few days ago, the US administration requested officially from Iran a meeting on the level of ambassadors... despite all of Cheney's brouhaha. Cheney came to the Middle East not to "warn" Iran, but to ask for the help Condi didn't manage to get. The US invasion of Iraq was a HUGE mistake. Should the US decide to attack Iran, there is no describing of what kind of mistake that would be... not to mention the repercussions of this 'mistake' on the entire world.
Everyone should be looking for the sudden yank at the wheel that is going to run this car into the ditch. America is not moving all this bombing capacity into the area with out some reason. Now we are going to have to divine the coming event that will make the Iran plans play out and cause an WWII style post Pearl harbor recruitment rush. A simple false flag attack is not enough to move the numbers that they want to herd. This game of lies is just to promote the base instinctual reaction you will be required to have after the next Shocking and mind numbing attack of evil men. To not see this is to miss the constant conditioning and brain washing i have seen in the media in North America. I mean come on Baltimore gets nuked by a bomb from the mid east? Just who pens a movie like Sum of all fears? And why is played so much? The plans this hoard of bankers has running will need many humans to be in fear of getting blown to bits or worse from Nuclear weapons. How many will be so scared that anything will be given just to be spared? Would you allow your self to fall into the trap that ensnared the previous generations of duped grunts?
Will the Zion Moneychangers nuke America and see to it that Iran gets the blame to further there one world government/bank plans? I bet you will get only a moment or two to figure out this one.
Has your moment already passed you by?
First you take D.C. Then you take New York.
