We won the Iraq war

What an idiot.

Don't you get it? IRAQ WAS FOR NOTHING. 4500 dead, tens of thousands of irreplaceable young men maimed, trillions of dollars flushed FOR NOTHING.

And, although there is no bad thing you could say about "Obama" that I would not agree with, this pathetic ending in Iraq was determined the very day our incompetent and wholly inadequate "war" plan was hatched. Wrong enemy, wrong battlefield, wrong means, delusional ends - there was nothing about the misadventure in Iraq, which took longer than WW II and left the enemy center of gravity untouched that was worthy of the slightest praise.

And Afghanistan is just as bad, and may yet turn out even worse.

I supported going into Iraq.

I was wrong.
