there probably is no way to completely fix this mess, but the strategy was and is mind boggling.

Right now the only way to truly win is to send enough troops, but we don't have the troops to send.

Furthermore, the military is like a well-tuned race car it can go 100 mph and do so smoothly and steadily, but you can also push too hard and blow out the moter.

We are at the point where we can conceivably blow out the moter of this race car. If they screw up the military we are really in bad shape.
