What will it look like? Once Obama is gone, we are going back in. I realize Obama has some troops there, but the number will skyrocket under the next administration.

That is difficult to say or speculate on.Originally Posted by Black Diamond
Three mistakes were made in the past.
When Saddam's ass was kicked in Gulf War I...the coalition did
not go in and shut him down completely. So he was able to wag
his finger and rattle his sword all through Bill Clinton's term.
Gulf War II...Interference with our armed forces insisting on
"Nation Building" rather than wiping them out. You cannot change
culture! Evidence of WMD was found. The convoys into Syria were
spotted, but our civilian brain-trust in D.C. refused to acknowledge
it and backed off support of the Military and the President.
Obama refusing to negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement and
almost fully pulling out. Yeah, GWB proposed a departure by 2011,
but that was negotiable.
Now we have ISIS.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

THAT ain't no sh*t. I got my port call time cut short every time that a-hole rattled his sabre. We weren't allowed to go into Iraq (officially) during the First Gulf War. Our mission was to kick him out of Iraq. Bush I had to agree to that for use of Arab airspace and land.

It sucks that the professionals (Military) were hamstrung by the amateurs (Politicians).
Bolded for clarity?
