Do you want to have real courage and fight to win or do you cut the funding and pull out? They beat the Russians in the 80’s and Washington seems to want them to beat the USA in Iraq and Afghanistan. How do you think the Muslim extremists are going to feel? Knowing they defeated not one but to two super powers.

The USA better fix the border problem quick.
all the Muslim extremists had to do to win, in both cases, was not lose.

perhaps the problem begins with declaring war on a concept, for which there are no clear metrics to define victory, let alone achieve it. "war on poverty", "war on drugs", "war on terror", "war on Islamic fundamentalism" - fundamentally doomed concepts and blanks checks for government excess, each and every one.
