As if you would have supported "overwhelming force."
How many of your posts, over quite a few years, have involved outrage about the damage--ANY damage--our military causes in the process of fighting the wars we're in? Someone should take a count. Long before Iraq, it was you who threw up most of the posts on the awful things our troops were doing in Afghanistan.
Keep in mind the tactics we used to win WWII.
In comparison, our military in recent years has been a model of restraint, costing more American lives to save lives in other countries. But that isn't really relevant, since there are NO tactics they could use that would meet with your approval. You see, you're not actually on their side.
