Such as Iran, N. Korea, and the hunt for Osama? What would we do if the Korean issue escalated? They know they can do whatever they want bacuse the U.S. Military is already spoken for for the next 4 years at least.

Hope not. Maybe the U.N. will deal with North Korea.
Ha yeah right.

No, actually I dont really. I dont really think that it's pulling resources from places where our military might want to "venture". (At least thats what it sounds like youre insinuating, that our military could be used someplace else.)
I think that Americans should get it out of their heads, that anytime another nation does something that we may not agree with, that we should send in armed forces.
No, we're not wasting our resources. I dont think that there is any other situation right now where we need military presence.
However, I do agree that we are stretched too thin for comfort.
Right now our armed forces are tied up in Iraq and Afganistan, and we need to do our best to structure these nations before we leave, otherwise we'll just being making a u-turn a few years down the line. But financially speaking, and speaking in terms of readiness and security-- We need less troops abroad, and more troops back home. We also need better spending ideas, that dont neglect the welfare of our armed servicemembers, or the mission.

no.
Iraq was blocking resources for 10 years before this war started. A case of unfinished business.
Iran can be handled by the troops already in Iraq. In fact they are in the best possible place.
Osama is in a deep hole and will end up like his pal Saddam- dragged out by his beard.
If Korea escalates to nukes, South Korea will get a brand new parking lot. If it escalates conventionally, the troops already there (another unfinished business) can whip Kim without any aid.

We have told them we wont invade (N Korea) and we wont..When China, Japan, and S Korea find the balls to invade, well help..Not w/ Infantry but w/ Sea and Air Support; Over the past couple weeks alot more Warships and Bombers have been placed in the Japan and S Korean bases..But Infantry is being sent home
Osama will die of health issues before he can get another attack off, and Iran doesnt have the necessary supplies to make Nuclear Weapons..And when they get those..The whole world will act

It is only a matter of time before all the third world country's have the nuclear capability. This is the information age. But remember that the information is coming faster than the ability to know how to control it.

Well, if you are talking about money that could have gone to put Hillary Clinton & John Kerry into a mental asylum. Then yes.

do questions like this take too many resources from REAL questions?
