@ggreenwaldThis is how Endless War works: it generates its own rationale to continue:
-- We have to deploy troops to that country to fight Enemies.
* Troops get attacked.
-- We have to keep troops there to avenge the attacks on Our Troops.
* Troops get attacked again.
-- Repeat forever

A dark, but real reason why we keep troops in Iraq
---we keep them there precisely to get bombed.
They are there for the purpose of being bombed (allegedly by Iranian proxies) for whenever we feel the need to escalate tensions and need a pretext
That's how it works
