eXile – Issue #262 – War Nerd – Who Won Iraq? – By Gary Brecher:
The worst thing a major power can do is go to war alone for “moral” reasons. This is how medieval France wasted its huge advantages on pointless Middle Eastern crusades that did nothing but revitalize the Muslims and drive down the price of white slaves in the Cairo market.
Damn, another unbelievably infuriating deja vu deal: we end up wasting our armies in the deserts of the Middle East, just like the French. Except even the French were too smart to fall for it this time around.
The article seriously answers the question “who won in Iraq?” As usual, thoughtful, extremely snarky commentary.
