Oh boo hoo. We don't have a "guarantee of success". How spoiled we now are! I can only thank goodness that in 1943 we weren't so plagued by natterers braying about not having a "guarantee of success".

I'm all for being over there until the job's done, but how long's that gonna be given [...]

No honest person can tell you the answer to your question. We will just have to find out. Ok?

As you know, we still have troop presences in Germany and Japan.

Yes, I know. I could probably list the bases, populations, and future plans for you too.

The questions are rhetorical since you're such a genius yourself. ; )

Your responses are somewhat predictable. It's funny how some people once they make up their minds, close their minds to any further discussion on the issue(s).

But it sounds as if in your mind success is guaranteed and that it's only a matter of time if I read you correctly.

Here's a clue: Germany and Japan weren't Islamic. That means that they weren't muslims. ; ) If you dont' see any difference between muslim and non-muslim in this world today, along with the host of accompanying "volatilities" associated witht the former, and more specifically between the two groups, well, then I can certainly understand your seemingly smug position.

No, I don't believe success is "guaranteed". There's a difference between what is probable and what is "guaranteed". And yes, I do believe success is probable (and, a matter of time), as long as we don't decide to give up because of our short-attention-span/instant-gratification tendencies.

Thanks for the news flash.

Yes, Iraq is an Islamic culture. That's a difference. I'd even agree, a big difference.

And?
