How Many Deaths Will It Take?

In order to equal the number of deaths in Vietnam, the war would have to continue for roughly 60 years.

So that makes it right?

How is it the most successful when nothing has been achieved yet?

We achieved our mission, to forcibly disarm Saddam Hussein. I didn't agree with this war, but Bush did what he set out to do.

What about how we were going to spread democracy to the people of Iraq?  That worked out real well.

The mission may be achieved but it has not yet, so it's silly to call it the most effective war in American history.

Second, Al Queda has lost a lot of their people in Iraq, and antagonized a lot of personnel in Iraq.

Third, notice how the various islamic states have calmed down since the current government was installed a couple of months ago.

Fourth, while there are those who want the United States to cut and run, it isn't going to happen.

The Iraqi government is getting its act together.

The average Iraqi has had enough with the terrorists.

Al Qaeda had few people in Iraq (there were probably more in the US) but the humber has increased since the war started.

1. Libya (debatable) 2. ?

Cutting and running would be a disasterous mistake.

Oh and tell me, how many Iraqis must we kill before we convince them that we're their friends?
