Iraq is going OK except for the idiotic decision not to get at least
training and advisory units based there, plus air force ones that then
need for air cover, though that can be done from Kuwait to a certain
extent. As a guard force ot cut back on Iranian meddling.

Afghanistan is politically messed up. It can be won on the ground as
Iraq was if the same policy is followed.

The gov't in DC now doesn't want to do what was done in Iraq and
provide proper numbers in the short term to get things done right.
