I'm sorry that I even have to divulge this to you, someone who has actually been in place there, but making a place "look like" it would [be] a decent place to live again, is not the same as guaranteeing a lasting peace in an otherwise very volatile region.
Of course it isn't. But then I wasn't the one advocating that we pull out. I said at the beginning that if we were to go in we need to go All In, and I disagreed with the decision to pull out early, but sadly it was never my call to make. The people who were demanding our withdrawal got exactly what they wanted but now that it's all gone sideways they want us to go back in and clean up the mess? Fuck that,
I gave my pound of flesh and watched it get thrown away.
