other than deterrance no. To add to Jad's list is one that holds a great deal of promise for them.
Cut the Basra road. The iraqi national guard and Coalition force sin the region are no match for the Shia if they rise up en masse. Ina scenrio where USAF tac air was tied up ove rthe gulf defending the shipping while the navy tookthe fight to Iran becuase of basign issues the mahdi's and Quds force could gain control and cause serious problems. This is more than an increased level of attacks but an attmept to create a sitationwhee a starving US Army is either forced to retreat North or West in defeat, or potentionally taken captive or dealth a severe blow. Luckily for us the Shia seem to be tiring of the Mahdi's and this lessons the threat of such a cordinated campaign.
