Maybe a fully staffed surge would have been better if those troops would have been sent sent to kill bad guys and break their stuff, but as usual they half assed it for the wrong reasons so we’ll never know.

No, because the country wanted us and the government we put in place out. Many of them were just scared of the Taliban, who could be more ruthless than our side, but the small urban population that was on our side was outnumbered by the rest of the country.

I totally agree, but we should have never been there in the first place. I said so at the time. Hit Abu Graib and GTFO. Check my posts, it’s clear I’ve been consistent. We should not have invaded Iraq or passed the Patriot Act. I was one of the few lone voices in the wilderness and history has proven me right. I’ve taken a lot of heat for my positions but I’m patient and my reward is watch crow be eaten.
