The dumbass is you. We should have never been in Iraq or Afghanistan with 100K+ troops. The only reason to do that was a war of pacification.

Our only reason to be there is to kill terrorists. That we can do from the air and with special forces.

You don't really understand the concept of targeted strikes do you?

We were never supposed to "nation-build" in Iraq, Dave. Go in, get Saddam, get out, was the Rumsfeld plan. Reality intervened.

It's why Bush had the "Mission Accomplished" party on the carrier. He thought it was OVER!

Read some decent histories.
