10. The Iraqi Folly
The Russians tried for years to get a foothold in Afghanistan and the "Insurgents" - with tactical advice and weaponry provided by the 'Mericans - let it be known that Outsiders were not welcome. Russia finally gave up, took its toys and went home.

Why in the hell the 'Mericans thought they could bomb and bluster their way into the Mideast and achieve a positive outcome is beyond me. The "Insurgents" have been trained and armed well and like unruly teenagers they're throwing it all right back in our face. Their ranks of hatred against the U.S. grow daily and the bombings will NEVER stop! It worked for them before, it will work for them again. Eventually the U.S. will realize that it just ain't financially cost effective and we'll depart with our tail between our legs. Meanwhile the human toll of suffering and death will only grow.

It's been said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result. Clearly the Smirk Administration is populated by Madmen!
