I'm not going to be dragged into another inane Iraq war debate in which people who know nothing scream about things they don't understand and yet feel the need to be opinionated about it.
Technically, we succeeded in disestablishing the regime of Hussien. Now we're in the same position that the U.S. was in after its Civil War; Reconstruction. Different place, different names, different reasons..same massacres.
Problems need to be solved on many levels. Once that's done, high-ho silva.
We thought we could fight this war on the cheap, but you can't rebuild a nation without massive military and economic dedication. We haven't necessarily lost yet but, in my estimation, we are losing.
The actual war itself is over and was successful...however, since the country had no leadership and was unstable we couldn't leave. Currently it's being invaded by insurgents that are fighting...but that is not the actual war.
The United States of America is still very much at war and in a state of war...nothing is over. Iraq has turned into a magnet ..if you will ..attracting people that hate America and what it stands for...insurgents cross into iraq illegally (from other hostile countries) just in the hopes of killing an American. If we were to leave it would be more of a bloodbath than it already is.
I support our troops and my Gov. 100%! I do not think we have lost anything but if we leave Iraq unfinished it will be the beginning of the end.
i believe we did there was no point to stay in iraq any longer and now we lost so many of our soldiers protecting a country that does not need to be protected!!

The actual war cannot be divorced from this 'non-actual' war you are talking about. Our objective was to set up a stable, democratic regime in Iraq to replace the Baath Party. The regime we have in place is nowhere near stable, so we are fighting to stabilize the country. Our current operations in Iraq fall under "Phase IV Operations"-Aid and reconstruction, which was part of the WAR PLAN. The military leadership anticipated that this would take very little time to accomplish, but we all know what happened with that and the rest is history.
We won the war agianst Saddam and the invasion. But aside from that its turned into a complete mess and troops are going to be stuck there for years, dying for what was a very pointles cause. We never should have invaded Iraq.
The United States of America is still very much at war and in a state of war...nothing is over. Iraq has turned into a magnet ..if you will ..attracting people that hate America and what it stands for...insurgents cross into iraq illegally (from other hostile countries) just in the hopes of killing an American.

It's turning into what Afghanistan was to the Russians.Â
well, you won the war...but it isnt going very well over there at the moment. And most people will agree with me when I say that it's a failure as a whole.
ahahahaha, I love it when people say america is losing! hahaha
When people say america is losing, do you understand what they mean? The war is taking longer than expected, america is CERTAINLY NOT LOSING THE WAR. So many people hate bush and make up clever jokes about his stupidity and yadada, but when you ask them why they feel that way? They don't have a mind of their own, you can tell they just jumped on the bandwagon... "um bush sucks thats why" or my personal favourite "he wants oil, um, yeah oil" ... yeah right soldiers are taking over all the oil there, gimme a break. thats just a motive people came up with, why else would soldiers be there? bad guys? terrorists? oil? yeah oil! they're all dieing there for precious oil. and if you seriously think america is losing the war, you need to understand the enemy. by day they may be selling goods in the market, but by night they could be wearing a balaclava and laying down mines. the us soldier is by him/her self very well trained, but in a group they are very very VERY well cooridinated and strong. an extremist with an ak-47 can kill someone just like any random gangster with a gun can, there is training for terrorists but most of their training would come from REAL combat, if they live long enough that is. all that training, firepower, and communication the us has, has a huge impact.
