"And if you, or anyone else can't understand the necessity of waging the struggle in the enemy's backyard, where they are forced to defend their own turf, and motivating the governments and people of the region to see our combined interests in defeating the Jihadist ideology, then you might has well just hang a white flag from your porch." Yes we are doing a wonderful job in making friends and having allies. The other day you said there were only a few hundred foreign jihadists. It seems to me if we were out, the iraqis would take care of them. You are just too stubborn to admit failure. No matter how noble your aims were, it is clear to me that this has not worked. If jihadism is as big a threat as nazism as you imply then lets fight them that way. We didnt worry about the german civilians who died when the allies bombed dresden. We certainly didnt think of the japanes civilians when we fire bombed tokyo or nuked hiroshima. You want to fight these folks, stop the nation building until after they are crushed and dont be a bleeding heart about civilian casualties. OR find a way as UW suggests using special forces. I am not an expert but all i know the current course is bleeding us to death/
