I agree we won the war. But, the question is "knowing what we know now, did we have to go to war and/or did we have a better way to achieve our objectives?".

Think of the ME as a snakepit. If you had one outside your house, would you kill the snakes one at a time as them came in the door, or go clean out the snakepit? That's what we are doing. It is messy, and you have to use a "trial and error" approach. We "burn while we learn" how to do it. There will be American troops in the ME from now on.

But it's the only way to go that makes sense to me.
