What I do know is that invading Iraq was a colossal mistake and that we have not learned our lesson and are likely to repeat it. <br /><br />Even if it were morally defensible to invade and occupy other countries because their leaders don't follow orders from Washington, we simply cannot afford imperial ambition.

None of them means that war is any more likely or unlikely with that country. It simply means the our military is prepared to excecute a wide variety of political decisions.
