Umm.....it occurs to me that earlier last year (2011) this was applied to a certain effort on a radical regime ISO of rebel forces. Our involvement was to be short lived, and we convinced NATO that they would shoulder most of the burden.

How long did it take to topple the Dictator who went rogue? Where are they now in so far as the rebellion gaining its goals?

How quick was it that the Iraq invasion was considered a success? What year is it now? How is Iraq doing now? How many troops are in Iraq and what units would those be?

Yeah, you might need to rethink some stuff....but that just may be my opinion.
