<h3>How long will it take Obama to escalate the war in Afghanistan and to stop Iran, and what will it cost?</h3>

Obama and Biden want to double the troops in Afghanistan and escalate the war there, with bombing Pakistan as an option too. He's convinced that we need to wage full scale war there (I think it would be twice as much involvement as in Vietnam). What will it cost, and how risky is it for his legacy?
