...Let’s hope it’s not a loss or defeat...

Huh?
Almost nothing is going on there these days. Our soldiers and marines have scarcely fired a shot in over a year in Iraq. It's over. We won.

Some mindless sectarian violence here and there will certainly continue, but that's just the way it's always been.

Our soldiers and marines have scarcely fired a shot in over a year in Iraq. It's over.

More than 300 US troops died in Iraq in the last year, not all combat but mostly. That doesn't include the few thousand wounded.

...The way war has always been and will certainly continue with mindless “fanatic” sectarian violence. We won? North Korea is still under an oppressive ruler. China is still under oppressive rule. Vietnam is still under oppressive rule. Russia is still under oppressive rule. Nations in Central and South America are under oppressive rule. Some of the FReeks here think that the US is under oppressive rule. Uppp, and just wait for what the FReekers will say when Obama gets inaugurated...
