5194: You think the reason the US lost in Iraq is "Too many Marines, not enough Howies."

 

[ElephantU]

5195: The real reason the US is struggling in Iraq is because it's conquest created a lot of Partisans but the Shiite ones are making war on the Sunni ones, and a bunch of renegade Fanatics are running around too. Aside from Fallujah, the US is too timid to level cities with Howies.

 

[Ali Ardavan]

The capture of the captial caused the Iraqi empire to split into not two, but 3 factions. The loyalists and one of the other two factions (shia) are Enraged. They both have plenty of partisans and are producing fanatics at an amazing rate. Furthermore, the shia faction has an alliance with Persians who have been Hostile for nearly 30 years though there has not been any open warfare.

The Americans are stuck in Democracy and barely managed the senate to go along with the Iraq war. Meanwhile their once prosperous treasury is being drained quickly and they may have to resort to selling infrastructure soon.

All this activity has been nothing short of a blessing for the fundamentalist Persians who have used the opportunity to build up and modernize their beaten up forces and swell their treasury. Foreign advisor reports that the tech they are currently pursuing is Nuclear Fission. Given that they already have Rocketry and that Americans built Manhattan long time ago, their building of a nuclear missile is only a matter of time. Americans who are too broke to finish up researching Laser tech and build SDIs are understandably worried.
