Whatever the outcome of the current battles, they have proven that
even if (which I doub) the United States with is vassals can still win
the war, they have certainly lost the peace and that their masterplan
of controlling Iraq and shaping the Middle East is in every practical
way as dead as the 12 American marines killed in fighting in the town
of Ramadi.

Now it is up to the United States to decide when it walks out and leaves
a mess of a country behind it, after once again fucking up things pretty
mightily.
