President "change the tone" can't seem too warmongering or too peaceful. Therefore you get the strategy of bombs, drones, and sanctions.

I say lets sit this one out for a change and let what W and the neocons wrought unfold on its own.

God knows that if we had to go back over there we'd kick their asses this time.

But I suspect the OP has a point. I don't think we're going to have boots on than ground beyond the 300, but we might have human pilots in the air, which is not good. The most we should do is use drones, and get our 'advisers' out of that shithole ASAP.
