PREDICTION:
It has to be Syria and it has to be before the election.
Bush needs to pick a fight with someone where he can look at least somewhat victorious by election time or else the economy will hobble his reelection as it tanks.
Iran is too hard a wall to break down, and too vast. He'll have learned his lesson from Iraq and try to make a more compact, easier to route nation next on his list of conquests.
Additionally, Syria borders on Israel.
After reelection (who would vote a president during continuing war?), Syria will be rubble and the next to go will be Iran, caught in a squeeze play between iraq and afghanistan.
then, Saudi Arabia will rise up and attack us while we're spread out, and then Bush will order the nukes. Since he wants the oil, he'll use neutron bombs in the air or chemical or biological agents, probably a biological virus that is ethnically targeted by identifying genome.
Then, after that, the rest of world, notably china and russia, will consider us too much of a threat to the species to survive, and they'll unleash all their nukes on us at once in a barrage attack.
We'll get some of ours off, too, but not enough.
The Fiji Islanders will then remerge a century later as the only surviving humans, only to brutally slaughtered by cockroachius sapien, as they exert their new dominancs over the earth.
or....not.
