Iraq was a war. We won it.

The JBS opposed it.

Viet Nam was a war. We won it.

The JBS opposed it. And I'd be interested in how you arrive at "we won it." War is invariably a political act. If you fail to achieve your political goals, you have not won, no matter how glorious the battlefield heroics.

Trying to nanny Afghanistan is not a war.

No. It's the aftermath of one. But if we begin with a failed state and a terrorist haven and end with a failed state and a terrorist haven, we lose.

“”Trying to nanny Afghanistan is not a war.””

“No. It’s the aftermath of one. But if we begin with a failed state and a terrorist haven and end with a failed state and a terrorist haven, we lose. “

Its the aftermath of Iraq? Please explain? I thought the WMD went to Syria which is effectively a satellite of the Kremlin.

As soon as you realize that you cant continue to cover up for Russia and its long history of murder, the better off we will all be.

Merry Christmas.
