Does anyone else read this as "We're going to start bombing Tehran and
Damascus"

21,500 but the gloves are off.
They'll be allowed to act with more force, upon less provocation
Iran and Syria will no longer be allowed to supply weapons; storage
and supply routes will be destroyed.
The US just raided an Iranian government office and arrested five
people including diplomats.
This is all or nothing last push to win.
>From the address:
Succeeding in Iraq also requires defending its territorial integrity -
and stabilizing the region in the face of the extremist challenge.
This begins with addressing Iran and Syria. These two regimes are
allowing terrorists and insurgents to use their territory to move in
and out of Iraq. Iran is providing material support for attacks on
American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will
interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek
out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training
to our enemies in Iraq.
We are also taking other steps to bolster the security of Iraq and
protect American interests in the Middle East. I recently ordered the
deployment of an additional carrier strike group to the region. We
will expand intelligence sharing - and deploy Patriot air defense
systems to reassure our friends and allies. We will work with the
governments of Turkey and Iraq to help them resolve problems along
their border. And we will work with others to prevent Iran from
gaining nuclear weapons and dominating the region.
