Actually idiotic is an excellent word to describe your post. What the hell is does, "You cannot even agree what we went to war over let alone what was accomplished" mean?

I very much know why we went to war and plenty of people agree with me on that. That *you* do not agree with us, simply means using your own logic I can shout back at you that "You cannot even agree what we went to war over let alone..."

Secondly, what has been accomplished is very clear to most. Lots of Iraqis dead, more more Iraqis dispossessed and displaced, AQ got stronger in Iraq, the country on brink of civil war and disintegration, loss of stature for US forces, and an overstretched military are but some of the accomplishments of this war. Other accomplishments include a massive debt that likely will cost over 2 trillion dollars in the next 10 years, IF we were to stop the war TODAY.

So most of the "accomplishments" can be measured objectively. But your side is not happy with the turn of events, which is why the "accomplishments" you wish to remark on cannot be measured objectively and are subject to debate.
