It doesn't matter if it's legitimate or not, they still hold it and my point is very valid. If we steam rolled them, they would just move to the next country to set up shop or fight as an insurgancy forcing us to keep troops there for the next 10 years. If you steamroll them and leave they just come right back and start it all over again.

Putting troops on the ground is a zero win situation unless you plan to keep them there very long term and take control of the entire place which will not happen..
