This operation will fail again. We've all seen this before. Big fireworks, some buildings leveled, some commanders killed, etc. They can always retreat into their rugged terrain and resume disruptive operations. If the Military wasn't understaffed and wasn't afraid to send in the Big Army, then I'd be talking differently. But you cannot win a war with Air Campaigns and some SOF raids alone.
OIF failed because of similar issues, and the Military, being a horror/lolcow of an organization, learned absolutely fucking nothing.
Feel free to sneed.
