Answer 2

Well, let's assess...what did we supposedly go there to accomplish?

We were going to remove a nasty dictator from power and find and destroy his vast arsenal of prohibited WMD, establishing in place of his despotic regime a secular democratic representative government that would inspire all the residents of the Middle East to rise up against their totalitarian Islamist masters and demand the same. This would ostensibly prevent Iraq and its neighboring lands from becoming al-Qaeda recruiting, training, and staging grounds.

What has been achieved?

We have removed a despotic secular dicatator from power and installed in his place an islamic theocracy whose highest source of law is the almighty Koran. The tyrant's downfall allowed ancient ethnic, tribal, and sectarian rivalries to explode in violence we are unable to quell. The vast arsenal of prohibited WMD turns out not to exist at all, which increases the at least the perception of illegitimacy. The neighbors have categorically NOT come to desire the implementation of the "Pax Americana" in their own lands, but on the contrary have flocked to Iraq to take up arms against us. The whole area has become an advanced postgraduate course for jihadis, offering doctorate-level training in urban and clandestine warfare against the finest military in the world, the likes of which hasn't been seen since we helped them to kick the Soviets out of Afghanistan.

The irony is that the Soviets went into Afghanistan in the attempt to preserve its secular government and prevent its fall to the Islamist fundamentalists.

So we are about one for eight on the success stats...not so good.

Amateur Warlords

For a leader who styles himself "the war president”, U.S. Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush's military record now stands at 0 for 4. Even Italy's born-again "imperial Roman conqueror”, Benito Mussolini, fared better.

- Fiasco I: Five years after Bush ordered Afghanistan invaded and proclaimed "total victory," U.S. and allied forces are fighting a losing war against Afghan resistance groups. Afghan heroin exports are up 90%. The U.S. just quietly deployed thousands more troops to Afghanistan to hunt Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri in a desperate attempt to save Republicans from getting clobbered in November midterm elections.

- Fiasco II: "Mission accomplished" in Iraq. Bush's war in Iraq is clearly lost, but few dare admit it. The U.S. has spent $300 billion on Afghanistan and Iraq, with nothing to show but bloody chaos, deficits, body bags, and growing hatred of America. The Bush/Dick Cheney "liberation" of Iraq has now cost more than the Vietnam War.

- Fiasco III: The White House had the CIA and Pentagon spend tens of millions bribing Somali warlords to fight Islamist reformers trying to bring law and order to their strife-ravaged nation. The Islamists whipped CIA-backed warlords and ran them out of Somalia. Following this defeat, the U.S. is now urging ally Ethiopia -- shades of Lebanon -- to invade Somalia, thus raising the threat of a wider war between Somalia, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. Good work, Mr. President.

- Fiasco IV: Bush and Vice President Cheney egged Israel into the hugely destructive but militarily fruitless war in Lebanon over the past month, in what many view as the first part of their long-nurtured plan to militarily crush Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran. They did their best to thwart world efforts to halt the conflict.

To Washington and London's shock and awe, Hezbollah, Iran, and Syria emerged the war's victors. Hezbollah is now the Muslim world's new hero after battling Israel's mighty armed forces to a humiliating draw.

Hezbollah's victory put the kibosh on the Bush/Cheney Holy Land crusade.
