We lost in Iraq, didn’t you hear? Everybody knows it – but no one will just come out and say it. After nine years of fighting, billions and billions of dollars spent, and too many Americans dead – US combat troops will pull out of the country next month. Non-combat personnel will stay another year in a war we couldn’t have won, because there was nothing for the US to win.
When will America ditch this “US-Freedom Police of the World ” crap? Didn’t we learn anything in Vietnam? The head of Iraq’s military said it would take ANOTHER 10-years of US military support before the country could defend itself against insurgents. Good luck, buddy.
We have the best-trained military troops in the world (with the possible exception of Israel). We also have the best high tech hardware available and smart people who know how to employ it.
And it can’t compete against some religious, illiterate lunatic – wearing explosives – who thinks he’s going to shake hands with Allah and ball
72 virgins as soon as he blows up a few “infidels”. We never could compete.
“Mission Accomplished” Bush, Jr! And Obama – you have even more blood on your hands. Better start rehearsing spin and flag-waving speeches. The practice will do you good when we lose in Afghanistan.
