Another pointless defeat:
We acquired 3000 dead Iraqi civilians in the streets, murdered, every month. We Acquired the people afraid to send their kids to school. We acquired the populace afraid to vote because they are afraid they will be murdered in the street. We Acquired families who are afraid to claim the bodies of their relatives that were murdered in the street for fear that they will be killed themselves.

This list is not exhaustive.
1. Peace and stability in the Middle East. Granted this will take some time but, the gift we have given the Iraqi people should translate to a nice ally.
2. Deposing a vile dictator who tortured and killed his own people while attacking his neighbors. And ending the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction stockpile for use and sale.

To bad none of these things that we have "acquired" were anywhere near the reasons we were told we were going in in the first place.

Lots of money for Halliburton, a new stage for al Qaeda to wage war, and a whole lotta bloodshed.

We have acquired control of the oil, so that Saddam would not sell it to russia for weapons, which in turn he would hand over to terrorists to hurt the west

A battered military and a bad reputation.
