Close 2/3rds of the bases
Cut the military by 150k troops
and use more drones that are overall cheaper to do the job.
= winning.
It was clearly shown in 2011 that you could take about 30 SEALs and a couple of helicopters in the middle of the night in Abbottabad and get rid of a problem that Bush and Cheney knew about but instead they chose to invade two countries and spend $3,000,000,000,000 in taxpayer money for fucking nothing except self-enrichment through their ties to the contractors who extracted their booty.
Bush and Cheney knew where OBL was the entire time. A good friend of mine was stuck in a hotel in Baku, Azerbaijan during 9/11. The hotel was filled with National Security Council people and "others" from our federal government. They were stuck in that hotel for two weeks after the attacks for security lockdown. People talk. OBL could have been found and killed immediately.
What worked was not troops on the ground, but cutting off the money flow in and out of the major Al Queda cells. It's always about money. Follow the money.
