The Republicans and America won huge today!!

9 years.....and little progress, yeah, that is probably unwinable. We never did accomplish the purpose we went in there for in the first place....

Regarding paying out the big bucks to millionaires, are you talking sports figures, actors or ? The old money of Europe makes much of our nuevo riche pale by comparison. And our biggest problem with education was giving it to other nations so cheap.

We've freed Iraq, dismantled most of Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Yep, I'm sure our soliders will agree with what you percieve as failure.

Please show me where I called it a failure....nice putting words into my posts. Would you say we have "won" either the Iraq or Afghanistan wars?

How does that not mean failure?

I get it, you did not call it a failure, just that it is failing. Sometimes I think you just like to argue.

Iraq is probably close to 90% complete. Afghanistan is closer to 60% but imagine fighting in the biggest Alaskan mountain ranges with an enemy that has caves, tunnels and years of guerrilla warfare experience. I'm sure the military is sorry for not meeting our instant gratification timeline.

Has any war ever REALLY been won?

If so, why do we still have wars?

Who is blaming the military? you? certainly not me.......they have done the best they could while being put into a situation that basically sucks. Both wars were hastily planned and poorly executed.....from the top, not on the ground. I blame the previous administration....yes Bush and his desire to make a name for himself as the great war president......little did he know that his lies would be revealed, his planning would be inadequate, and the war would drag on long after his presidency. He sent our troops into war without a plan to win the war or an exit strategy.
