LOLOL  All evidence to the contrary. Our generous applications of shock & awe haven't eliminated the problems in Iraq, they've made them significantly worse. I see Boy George has informed us that we'll be reducing the number of American troops in Iraq... back to what they were for the last four years!
And, we're begging for help in Afghanistan that our massive firepower apparently hasn't solved either.
Yep, 5 years after the Bush League and Tommy Franks were promising that our troops would be out of Iraq by September of 2003, our military is on the verge of exhaustion, -- " Pentagon caught between exhausted US military, security in Iraq", the trillion dollar cost of the war has been a constant anchor around a U.S. economy in tatters, 4,000 of our troops are dead, with 30,000 maimed and wounded, America despised around the world, the American people divided.
Yessiree, by all means... tell us how our massive firepower "Solved the Problem!"

I don't actually believe the Americans have had any intention of really solving Iraq and Afghanistan's problems in the first place, see the building contracts not being properly supervised for instance, the only goals America had, was to remove a dictator they had set up, accomplished, secure oil supply's and contracts, accomplished, and have a military base dead smack in the middle east to launch more attacks from, also well accomplished, and for what little over 4,000 losses in 6 years, by any military handbook an over whelming success!
They say they will reduce numbers over there, yes they may, but then they could just as easily increase them if the need arose too.
