Very poor logic here. Bush doesn't have enough time left in his administration to make a plan like that even remotely possible. We don't have the manpower on hand, surge or not, to both occupy Iraq and fight a ground war in Iran or Syria. Further, we don't need a civil war to protract our time there. If it ended tonight we would be there for at least two to three more years, even with Dems at the helm. We can deal with Iran or Syria via massive aerial campaign. We can't occupy another nation, it's just not possible. Therefore an aerial and naval strike campaign would be the plan of choice. We could very easily cripple their infrastructure and never need to place a single troop on enemy ground.
