Was the wealthy father of ten already beaten up by the guy who killed him? Was he confined to his house and bombed routinely? Was he unable to buy things without the permission of the folks who kicked his ass and confined him under house arrest?

Wealthy father of 10. You leave a lot out.

The fact that the "win" was such a non-event shows you just how weak Iraq was. One legged blind man is pretty much spot on, imo. Obviously you think about it differently- but you've got very little evidence on your side.

When you "win" against a crippled enemy and make the world less safe for yourself and your allies, and spend a fortune doing it, I think most people would count that as a loss. I will put you on record as seeing it as a win though, ok?
