Apparently we've wasted a LOT of money, killed more than a few innocent people, and created an even bigger problem than existed before. Typical US disaster.

And you still wonder why Russia and China are making inroads in Africa? Hell, we could buy the freaking cobalt for a fraction of what we've spent on these foolish military escapades.
