Now they are stuck in a situation where they can't back out without looking weak, a more brutal leadership might take over, their supporters and most American citizens don't support this operation, Europe has even less reason to work with us, price of oil reaching all time highs, our military contractors can't produce nearly enough arsenal to keep up with this sudden demand for weaponry because of this poor deployment. All of this was preventable. They didn't have to attack. But emotions drove this admin into this situation and therefore all of us with them.
