    The lesson for me (aside from some world leaders like Karzai need to be told to S T F U) is that you can't let a war become an occupation. Strike militarily, then leave. If trouble starts again, strike again. The two most successful recent wars, Bosnia and the Gulf War, were done in this manner. Yes in both cases we had to launch more military strikes (Kosovo in the Balkans and multiple strikes against Saddam pre-Bush II) but never was the US responsible for the wholesale security of either country.

    So, same thing with ISIS. Bomb the p !ss out of them until they go away and let local troops deal with them. If they stick their heads up again later on, start bombing again. Its far better than restarting the ludicrous Iraq War complete with boots on the ground doing the fighting for the Iraqis.

    Outgoing Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai took one final swipe at the U.S. Tuesday, telling a gathering of Afghan government employees that the 13-year American-led military action had failed to bring peace to his country.

    "We don't have peace because the Americans didn't want peace," said Karzai, who will officially give way to President-elect Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai when the latter is sworn in Monday.

    "If America and Pakistan really want it, peace will come to Afghanistan," Karzai added, referring to his country's eastern neighbor as well as the U.S. "The war in Afghanistan is to the benefit of foreigners. But Afghans on both sides are the sacrificial lambs and victims of this war."

    Up 10% in the last 3 weeks; gotta do a profit take at some point.

    Block III costs > $500k each and we used 47 last night. And it aint like they're reusable. RTN will be just fine.
