#1 Roggio lists 12 actions in which named AQII were killed or captured - all 12 cited "Iraqi forces killed.....", not US (though we presumably helped.)

#4 g(r)omgoru, I think we are playing whack-a-mole. Al Queda right now is over in Afghanistan and Pakistan causing us trouble and we are able to clean house in Iraq. At some point they might move back when/if we start to defeat them again in Afghanistan. Each time their recruiting gets dumber folks with less time to train so their is an endgame out there if we have the patience.

#5 RJ, IDF killed something like 500 - 1000% of Hamas leadership. As long as the money flows, there will always be replacements---it isn't like the job required unique mental qualifications.

#6 As soon as we leave, they will become magically 'fixed'.
Sadly, I bet they are training somewhere right now.
Why do we announce our plans in advance.
Has our commander-in-chief any common sense?
(don't answer that question)

#7 Broken?

No worries. The Saudis have superglue (money) to put it back together again.

#8 Yes, yes, YES. Like drug dealers on a streetcorner, they'll be back til the drugs are gone. We all know how that has turned out...
