Credible Threat In order to be considered a credible threat, you must back up your assertions with actions. Here we will look at two actions the U.S. has recently taken that would cause Iraq to consider their threats of invasion credible. The U.S. is currently attempting to get clearance from the Turkish government to deploy around 62,000 U.S. troops on Turkish soil. This would allow the U.S. to enter Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq and open a second front against Iraqi government forces in the event of a war. The U.S. military planners also say that this deployment and second front would accelerate a U.S. victory and minimize casualties. The U.S. is also in mass deployment of troops to the Middle-East, especially air craft carriers.
