When this one is complete we should continue right on to dealing with Iran, Syria, and then North Korea. Add to the list anyone else who supports terrorism and/or threatens our national security.

Considering the mess in Iraq, supporting the Afghans who want help and the hurricane disaster.How do you propose the USA could physically and economically be able to do this? Obviously you don't mind an increase in taxes and massive increase of US war dead. Do you honestly believe that North Korea and Iran will be a pushover like Iraq could and should have been? Especially Iran, they have a free live firing training ground next door to train and battleharden every fanatical muslim.
IMHO the 'Coalition of the willing' should have done away with Iran first and foremost. That was and is the home of the fanatical muslim.
and NO

I am not anti-American, so DON'T even call me that.
