The US army have admitted that about 100,000 Iraqis have died for the non-finding on weapons of mass destruction.
The US troops in Afghanistan can't handle the Taliban - all pretty meaningless unless one wants one's country to look like CC mods. |

i'm encouraged by that response , but that , and this is very important to note , is actually only a by product of the primary causal agent . Although no doubt a synergetic one .

Spoiler for Answer:
