If you look at the big picture, Communisim is taking off again with a powerful vengence, China, Russia and now Venezuala are all on the same side, Russia is flexing its muscle in south America, and in the artic region, most of Europe is eithe on the fence with the U.S, or just dont like us. The Iraq war has taken its toll on our troops, low numbers, and they are tired.
A major ground war would be a mistake right now, the only thing left is to drop some glass making bombs in the sand.

We had our chance but did not act, we should have struck within days, occupied the entire region and sucked it dry of oil - period. Who said all is fair in love and war? They do not want us there and we do not want to be there, with that said it should have been an all-out seize and occupation and it would have been done. We could have sold off excess oil to China and made some cash... bleeding hearts would not allow that to happen and here we are.
