So any day, now.
It still amazes me that a mere 44 years or so after Vietnam the Americans still don't understand that having the biggest, baddest military in the world doesn't mean that you can always get what you want.

I've read so many descriptions of their military/intelligence people war gaming various scenarios and the result is always that they can't just threaten/blast their way to success - yet that continues to be a major part of their foreign policy.

Astonishing.
