Hell to the no. Those guys cant even do a proper jumping jack.

When I was over there one of those neanderthals shot an RPG straight into the sky on accident (during "training"), killed about 10 people including a couple of Green Berets. Apparently Khan the Neanderthal had no idea about the whole gravity thing. Happened right outside the wire of KAF

God that was terrible.

Ideally we would get to a point where we no longer need their oil, get the hell out of the middle east all together and let them fight among themselves.

China is getting that oil, not us. So we don't even have that as the great legitimizer.

To hell with the middle east. No more troops or treasure.

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Nothing new.
