Build a fence

"redeployed to the deserts and borders where they and their high-tech equipment can play a strategic role."

Contain or rollback the Iranian and Syrian governments.

Assure the free flow of oil and gas.

Fight Al-Qaeda and other international terrorist organizations.

Provide a benign presence in Iraq.

These are worthy strategic objectives and appear possible IF the borders are closed and controlled. This is a similar proposition to our Mexican and Canadian borders at home. Where's the fence? A high-tech fence would negate the need for so many troops.
