additionally violence spilled into lebanon and iraq could begin to behave erratically as it considers a sunni controlled government succeeding the assad regime on its western border or alliances forming between sunni syria opposition and iraq's own sunni population. more over, the situation present as strategic opportunity to deal a blow to known supporters of terrorism in the region as iran continues to back the assad government as hezbollah have enjoyed support and residence in syria on the other hand there is much we do not know about the opposition. syria also maintains robust air defenses that limit military options. therefore, i'm not recommending u.s. military intervention, particularly in light of our grave budget situation unless a national security threat was clear and present. nevertheless, these reflections lead me to wonder what the united states can do to stem the violence and hasten president assad from power. we also need to understand what we are doing to secure the security -- ensure the security of one of the world's largest stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. to paraphrase general petraeus, how does this all end? i look forwa

western pacific. not quite as much to the sands of mesopotamia because for better or worse however iraq now develops in the future, iraq and other major countries in the mideast are unlikely to drag us into large ground wars. i think that by making greater use however of the institutions that you represent and have served within and embody and can tell us so much about, i think we can actually make a little greater use of this asset in the way that director petraeus was discussing that we've learned how we can do many the last decade. and really shape a total force package with a little greater reliance on the reserve component than we have so far. i think the army, the active army would wind up at 450,000. the active marine corp. at 160,000. those would be reasonable numbers as long as we recognize the asset in you. i don't want to push the argument too far. we need to do this in a careful way. i think looking at the full range of threats to the country including the threat of the debt that it makes sense to try to use the portfolio of active reserve in a way that favors the reserve component a little
