By the time George W. Bush left office, the U.S. military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq had already lasted longer than our involvement in both World Wars combined. The United States of America isn't going to be waging another major military campaign over in the Middle East until there are enough voters in this country who are dumb enough to believe that their government is actually serious about fighting a war over there.

That could be decades from now. But maybe it will never happen ... because as I sit here in August of 2015 and look back over the last couple of decades, I think a strong case can be made that U.S. policy in the Middle East has been orchestrated by foreign agents in high places in the last two administrations.

Tinfoil hat time. And our military campaign in the Philippines lasted from 1899-1913, with a very close proximity of forces deployed there as a percent of total forces. These wars take time. A study of ten major communist insurrections (I know, not Muslim) showed an average of 5-6 years, but the government/good guys won 7/10. Lesson? These wars are completely winnable, but it takes real staying power.

I know the current occupant has given it all away in Iraq (winnable) Turkey (winnable) Libya (winnable) Egypt (winnable) Syria (winnable) Venezuela, Cuba and Afghanistan , the Stan being the only one I doubted.

We have more dead, more losses and more threats under this currant chucklehead.
I know Libyans that are terrified.
