Was that why WE went there? To help them build an independent nation and draw new borders for them? No that is NOT why we went there, and why we have no place defending their side bet ulterior motives that were NOT part of the mission. And which tribe will you hand it over too? The other tribe will just start a civil war for control and we will be right back where we started. There is no winning or positive outcome in this region ever.

In the meantime, we spend money and kill our own to attempt something that CANNOT be done within our own mission goals. They are setting the rules of engagement and we should never allow them to do this, or we will be there FOREVER.

We went them because the right palms were greased by the Israelis and Saudis with the promise of much more once the Saudis got their pipeline route and the Israelis got a Libya like failed nation on their border rather than an organized State as it has existed.

We shouldn't have been there in the first place and the sooner we're out the better.
