How old are you? Saddam remained in power and so therefore there was no surrender. No territory was lost other than those he invaded.
Oh big deal. We achieved the goal in Afghanistan. WOW! I guess that showed em right?
As to your last..no, I would have went in and KILLED EVERY GD SOB and then left.
Since when is it OK to go in and carry out a military operation with a touchy feel and then claim we accomplished a goal? Are you out of your mind? I guess we should have kicked the Germans to hell out of France and the rest of the countries they invaded and then claim we accomplished the goal.
END OF STORY Now go stew.
Then, you're an IDIOT. That would start World War III and turn the entire Muslim world against us.
Rent a brain.
The goal was to bring Al Qaeda and Bin Laden to justice. It had to be done. 9/11 is not something our nation could let slide. And, turning Afghanistan into a parking lot wasn't an option.
You're simply not very bright.
