Every war is a quagmire when there is no end in sight and soldiers' lives and billions of dollars are being lost and wasted.

Good one, tejek. In your mind, we never should have responded to Pearl Harbor or liberated France, because it would have gotten us into "quagmire." There sure was no end in sight either in the Pacific or Atlantic. Exit strategy? Not a priority, then. The focus was "Entrance strategy" and conquering the Axis. People volunteered to fight in droves. Some were even under age or over age, nearly everybody (except pacifists) wanted to volunteer and kick butt.

Think about that......Saddam has a $25 million bounty on his head......he was a hated tyrant, and yet, no one is turning him in to us. Does that tell you anything?

Are you implying that he's actually loved and is just a "victim" of US government propaganda?

It tells me that: 1) He already murdered almost anybody who might disclose where he is, and has terrorized or coopted many of the rest. What good is $25 million if you're dead? He cuts the tongues off people who merely offend him. The very, very few who know where is are either like-minded, or scared sh*tless; 2) He spent the past 30 years creating hiding places and safe houses. It will take time to unearth him.

Do you forget the past so easily, or are you in denial?
