Syria has been supplying Iraq. Rumours say that we knocked out the oil-pipelines, rail-lines and highways on the border, but terrorists and supplies are still going across the border.

B-B-But-but-but this just isn't FAIR! The coalition forces must stand down, so a resupply convoy can get through from Syria, carrying goods and armaments from France, Germany and Russia. After all, they have CONTRACTS, and if your word is not good on a contract, what is it worth? Besides, the whole point of the war is to bankrupt the US. Since the Soviet Union imploded, the US has not had a worthy adversary other than Iraq, and now they are at such a pitiful level, it seems almost cruel and unjust to keep pounding on them.

Of course, the only objective for engaging in war is to win, and take your expenses out of the goods and treasure your defeated enemy surrenders to you as tribute. Trial lawyers understand this principle very well.
