Certainly American troops are already spread so thin they
haven't the manpower to invade anyone else! (And, since
many of our troops in Iraq are National Guardsmen, we
haven't much in the way of troops for "emergency response"
here at home, either.)

They got a little too bold after their successes against superpowers like
Panama and Grenada. They did okay in the Gulf War because they had lots of
help, and a family run regime that needed to be bailed out. That boosted their
confidence enough to think they should invade Afghanistan and Iraq and they are
pinned down there for a while.
