The redeployment has been an ongoing study since the Clinton administration. When reported back then, there is was this major problem of where to put all these redeployed units. It means whole new facilities for heavy divisions must be built somewhere else including facilities for training. Not an idle task. However the redeployment is necessary if we are to attack Iran. Resources must first be liberated. And that redeployment could not even be completed by 2005 which gives an approximation to a possible Iran invasion.

Simply rechanneling a redeployment would coincide with an Iran invasion and with the manning of new American bases scattered north of Iran. Will the redeployment involve those new bases and other objectives? Insufficient information is currently available. All we have right now is an event that dovetails nicely how manpower must first be released from NATO before it can be deployed elsewhere. Currently, those forces in Europe could not be used to, for example, invade Iraq. Having been released from NATO, they can be used as the president wishes. An Iranian invasion on or after 2005 will most likely occur if George Jr is reelected. He just needs more military freed to execute his agenda.
