Iraq: The War To Start All Wars
In yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, deputy editor George Melloan advanced startling rationale for the Iraq war. In Melloan’s view, the invasion was about creating a home base from which the United States can launch future wars against Iran and Syria: The invasion of Iraq was not only about weapons of mass destruction…It was also about establishing a U.S. war-fighting beachhead in the heart of the Middle East, the principal breeding ground of terrorists.

Iraq: The War To Start All Wars
Think Progress
December 7, 2005
In yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, deputy editor George Melloan
advanced startling rationale for the Iraq war. In Melloan’s view, the
invasion was about creating a home base from which the United States
can launch future wars against Iran and Syria:
The invasion of Iraq was not only about weapons of mass destruction…It was also about establishing a U.S. war-fighting beachhead
in the heart of the Middle East, the principal breeding ground of
terrorists. The invasion took out one terrorism sponsor, Saddam
Hussein, and gave the U.S. a presence for intimidating two others, Iran and Syria.
According
to Melloan, we need to finish the job in Iraq quickly – not so we can
send the troops home – but so we can get ready to fight Iran:
Nowhere is the antipathy toward America and the West more clearly manifested than in Iran…Getting Iraq under control is urgent because of what may be the next threat in the Middle East.
Don’t
expect the string of wars to end anytime soon. Melloan concludes that
the fight could last "30 years in the view of some analysts."
