@Singh778 So what? They're still getting their asses handed to them on a daily basis both in Iraq and Afghanistan and haven't achieved any of their objectives yet! After 8 years and retreating their troops, the Iraqi government is under the influence of Iran (majority of its cabinet members are from the Shia party formed by Iranian Ayatollahs in mid 80s, The Supreme Council) and after 10 years Afghanistan is still controlled by Taliban and other warlord factions with no end of violence in sight!

How very awful. One should never miss a good BBQ opportunity in the Middle of the desert.

The whole operation would've worked, if only the US Navy had anticipated the massive amount of dust.

U.S.A. is only good at invading small banana republics like Granada and Panama whose populations were outnumbered by the invading American troops. It's a different story however, when it comes to mid size, let alone large, countries such as Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia...

What a clusterf*ck...Who thought THAT up??

And who the hell managed to persuade Carter it could ever work? It's clearly WAY too complicated...
