Our enemies have a covert supply system that we cannot bomb or cut off. They are happy to die for their cause and go to their 42 virgins or whatever. So we cannot intimidate them into peace.
But they can bankrupt us by continuing a war we spend billions to fight our way while they fight spending thousands to fight it their way.
Do the math; we eventually lose our treasury, our morale and our political support for the war at home.
Our only hope was to convince enough moderate muslims to publicly denounce their jihadi rivals and form a social network among them that would shame them into dropping their war.
Two huge mistakes have destroyed any hope of setting up a bridge to moderate Muslims.
1) we stayed in IRaq and Afghanistan too long and we have them thinking we went their for the looting, especially the supporting corporations.
2) all the gay bullshit has driven a deep wedge between us and our moderate Muslim allies.
So without that bridge we are never going to get a negotiated settlement or agreement on what the details will be in ending the war.
Our loss is now inevitable.
