The Iraq War has proved to be a black hole for the Americans, devouring men and matériel and absorbing the attention of the brass in Washington. The American military, understandably, puts a high priority on "force protection," but as a practical matter that means staying behind armor and barricades.
An ends-justifying-the-means rationale led to foolish and ultimately unsuccessful assassination plots and other dirty tricks that disgraced and demoralized the CIA. When you kill one person it's a multiplication factor. It demands that all the male relatives join the fight.
