xxx, what can I say. You are right. Maybe we should learn from the Canadians, we should just bend over and do nothing. -- Maybe we should learn French too!
And, I don't know how you "win" a war. There are no winners in war. Our objectives in entering Iraq were to oust Saddam. We did that. No more Saddam or his kids... They dead !!
So we were successful in that manner. We beat his army. Now we are fighting a different war in Iraq. We are no longer fighting the Iraq Army which we beat. We are fighting guerillas that had nothing to do with the war, rather they are the "POST WAR".
Matter of fact, I just thought of a good marketing idea. I don't think the war in Iraq should be called the war in Iraq anymore. It should be called, "The war against the people who hate democracy that is taking place on the soil of Iraq" ... Would that fit on a bumper sticker? EH ?
Ohhh but just in case your counting:
1) Won the Gulf War (Desert Storm/Shield)
2) Beat Saddam, his kids, his National Guard, his army.
2) Won the Cold War (how quickly you forget.)
3) Won WWI
4) Won WWII
-- And I wasn't quoting the civil war, I was quoting the Revolutionary War...But:
5) I am from the North, so technically, yes, I won the civil war too.
6) Didn't we have a two day war in Panama.. I think we won that one too.
7) We did win the war in Afghanistan, even if it was only temporary. We got rid of the Taliban. But what should we be fighting for there, a couple of unscathed rocks?
So XXX what's next? You going to tell us that we lost the War on Drugs as well?
