At some point critics of neoconservatism who mindlessly regurgitate Iraq war 2003 memes need to acknowledge that the US has just gotten way, way better at doing battle.

Many of you want purity:
You don’t want compromises.
You don’t want coalitions.
You don’t want to seek and gain new friends in hard times, when new friends are terribly needed.
In short, you don’t want what’s possible.
You only want what is impossible.
But you won’t get it.
