"What I was disappointed in is that when the insurgency started being a problem we should have hit their countries of origin, namely Syria and Iran." You must mean 'hit Saudi Arabia', right? Although US military leaders in Iraq say that some 90-95% of the detainees they have in custody are local Iraqis... with the remainder being foreigners, of those foreigners the majority are Saudi nationals.

Uzbeks Threaten to Evict U.S. From an Air Base Near Afghanistan July 8, 2005 By ETHAN WILENSKY-LANFORD BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, July 7 - Uzbekistan on Thursday threatened to evict the United States military from an important air base near the border with Afghanistan. The United States was allowed to use the Soviet-era base, in Karshi-Khanabad after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States and continues to use it to support the continuing military efforts in Afghanistan. The statement on Thursday from Uzbekistan's Foreign Ministry said it had allowed the base, where 800 American troops are stationed, to be established for the sole purpose of ousting Taliban rulers from Afghanistan. "Any other prospects for a U.S. military presence in Uzbekistan were not considered by the Uzbek side," The Associated Press quoted the statement as saying.
