That is bad, bad, bad.
The decision really highlights how overextended our military is -- despite various denials.
I just don't see how we can keep going after the Axis of Evil and shore up Afghanistan with our current force structure or any conceiveble reshuffling of existing assets.
I think we're going to have to leave Iran (the true al Quaeda supporter) and NK pretty much alone. (i.e. We can't pretend that we'd "Iraq" them.) We don't have a credible conventional military threat at this juncture (wrt land forces) to use against any country larger than, about El Salvador.
