I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again,”The best war is the shortest war.”To hell with the collateral damage. Carpet bomb the whole damn area into glass if necessary. Take out the ports, oil refineries and oil wells. Destroy the rail lines and roads. Erase the power grid. IOW immobilize them all to the point of relying on their camels again. It would be cheaper all around to send them a message to not fool with Uncle Sugar than to play mumbly peg for another 3, 5, 10 or 20 years and end up no better off than we are now. Who has the cajones to do it?
You assume TPTB want to win a war against the muslims.
I presume this so-called 'war' is merely a means to an end.
