As alluded to by the rumour Don mentions, the country that is apparently next on the agenda for "shaping the strategic environment in the Middle East" is Syria.

What? Can't find the WMDs in Iraq? No problem, we'll just "roll back" Syria, and when we don't find the WMDs there, we'll attack Iran and look for them there. Of course, we'll have to leave an occupying force in all of those countries just in case they try to start up some sort of WMD program at some point in the future, and we'll have to take control of their resources to pay for our efforts. But hey, no problem. It's no skin off our nose. They're all just a bunch of terrorists (and future terrorists) anyway.
