Al-Qaeda eyes Iraq ties for U.S. attack

Top U.S. security agencies highlight ‘persistent and evolving threat’

Al-Qaeda is using its growing strength in Pakistan and Iraq to plot attacks on U.S. soil, heightening the terror threat facing the United States over the next few years, intelligence agencies concluded in a report unveiled Tuesday.
At the same time, the intelligence analysts worry that international cooperation against terrorism will be hard to sustain as memories of Sept. 11 fade and nations’ views diverge on what the real threat is.
In the report prepared for President Bush and other top policymakers, analysts laid out a range of dangers — from al-Qaida to Lebanese Hezbollah to non-Muslim radical groups — that pose a “persistent and evolving threat” to the country over the next three years.

I think that it's depends on how it's done. If it's just fighting it would be in the tens of thousands IMO. If we were willing to withdraw then drop some monster bombs, probably a couple of nukes, then no. But you wouldn't be willing to do that. I also have feeling that our adnministration isn't on the side of the American people.
