Giggle. The world has proved the opposite of your prediction.

OMG! Heybubbing Alert! WHAT!!??? Do *you* think that Iraq was a
success? By what measures? We won two entire world wars in far less
time, one against two enemies at once. Is Al-Qaeda tougher than Tojo
and Hitler combined that it's taking so long with so few victories?

The likelihood is that all the people who helped us as translators
and such in Iraqi will be killed with power drills and hammers once
we leave because we can't even stop their murders with a full
military occupation force. Our mission was to find WMD's and we did
not. We failed to accomplish the one single goal on which the whole
disaster was founded upon. That's not a win in any military sense
that I know about.

Uh, yeah, we won. We defeated the Iraqi military which, at the time, was the
fourth largest in the world. We defeated them on their own turf.

As for the WMDs, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. There may
not have been any WMDs, but that's impossible to prove.




Not only did we fail in that goal, we've failed in a number of other
dimensions. We wasted ENORMOUS amounts of our tax dollars helping
Muslims. That's an odd thing to do considering what their fanatics
did to us on 9/11, don't you think? Why are we building THEM new
dams, power plants and schools when our own people go without? If
that's winning, what does losing look like?

Why? Simple. We want to do so. Why are we not building dams and schools and
such here? Again simple. Because we don't want to.
