Of course, we’ll be long gone by then. The whole purpose of the “surge” in Iraq was to declare victory and get out, as fast as we possibly could.
This strategy hasn’t quite dawned yet on our head general in Afghanistan, who seems to think that another surge and several more years of army training will make Afghanistan something other than a collection of warring tribes.
So, the score so far: two pointless wars that did not achieve their ever changing objectives, several thousand of our boys and girls killed, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans killed, terrorist recruitment a big success, drugs trade roaring, Islamic extremism a fact of life worldwide, and no luck at all in capturing or killing the people who attacked us on 9/11.
