Bush put us into not one, but two unwinnable situations
The top exit strategy in both cases was a draw. But to get that draw means we have to keep our troops on the ground indefinitely. Neither region is historically stable. The naive concept of sending the Army, overthrowing the government and having the people happily embrace democracy while singing the praises of the US never had a prayer.
We must choose a point in time where we declare victory and just go home. Both countries will go into eventual civil war but that was the inevitable outcome anyway.
Except we won in Iraq, you dumb ass. And we could solve a few problems in Afghanistan as well if we had the right Leader. If more troops are needed make the fucking Europeans send more troops and then make Countries like France use their troops to fight.
Ohhhhh....we WON Iraq
I remember, Mission Accomplished and all that. I must have missed the parade
We have not won anything yet pal, We have pulled our troops back from the hot zones. Iraqis are still being killed every day. The internal conflicts are still there. Once we pull out, all hell will break out.
Right leader for Afghanistan? You mean like one who pulls out just as we are stabilizing the country in order to attack a country that is not a threat? You mean one who allowed the Taliban to come back and take back most of the country our Army had fought to control?
