Gone and forgotten
This is a perfect example of why you should not be discussing this.Whatever, you people have re-defined "winning" in Iraq like 50 times now.
We didn't have an exit strategy, we're still there, that was the point, genius.
And what exactly did WE "win" in Iraq? Hmm? We spent trillions of dollars and wasted thousands of lives and we haven't gained anything at all.
The current Iraqi regime looks as though they'll probably go the way of Iran, who they are much more closely tied to than the US.
How the hell is that "winning" anything?
The 'exit strategy' for a war is victory, the idea is not to commit to combat unless you have the will and the means to win, and the only way to do is to fight a total war.
There are no 'exit strategies' that is a silly buzz word created as a nicer replacement for defeat.
