Bush unnecessarily prolonged it. We should have been gone within 2 years, and never gotten into the so-called nation-build phase. Punitive expedition and out.

Obammy prolonged it. He said it was the “right” war and boosted our presence, didn’t matter what Bush did except for going there in the first place.

Wars are won on the battlefield and lost in Washington.

I believe that the initial invasion of Iraq was an appropriate use of defensive and retaliatory force. Are you saying that you disagree?

Nope.

Although I would have done it differently, both in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Flatten the infrastructure
Kill the leaders
Break the countries up on ethnic lines
Set the ethnic groups at each other's throats
Walk away

The message is pretty clear, F with us, and you personally will die, we will destroy all you hold dear, and your country will simply cease to exist.

Nation building? *spit*
