i dont think that they would be able to without taking huge international backfire from it. one way they could get away with it is declare war on terrorism and invade sudan or iran. it might sound like a radical approach but they would be supported by the US and its allies. the only callenge would be to find a reason to do so. im sure iran would be a nice target for them because of the oil, not to mention that the iranians would have a hard time fighting a half million troops.
