That is correct. We have not won a war since WWII. Desert Storm was just a battle.

The current mess in Iraq and Afghanistan is most assuredly the fault of the Commander in Chief that sent us over there in 2003. There was zero chance of making a modern democracy in a Muslim country.

GW Bush did horrific damage both at home and abroad. It is time for his supporters to admit he was a rotten President, worse than Clinton.

He did plenty of damage but only a total moron would think he was worse than Clinton. Bush didn't start wars to distract from his personal domestic problems.

There’s a good reason why the U.S. has not “won” a war since 1945. The U.S. has effectively become a global empire in the post-WW2 era, and it makes no sense to obliterate an enemy when the sole purpose of going to war with him is to do business with him afterward.

You're right about that. I just sit here and rattle off a list of things that were passed by a Republican Congress and signed into law by that dope -- none of which would ever have been supported by anyone with half a brain here on FreeRepublic if it was Democrats who were in charge at the time:

The Patriot Act ... Medicare prescription drugs ... "No Child Left Behind" ... ethanol mandates for fuel ... massive bank bailouts ... etc., etc.
