"spent force" denotes "weakness" not gone, dead, defeated. You don't step on a snake and lift your boot til it is dead.

Yes, after 5 years of fighting, the loss of 4,000 US lives and spent $600 Billion, we cannot claim victory. In fact, we are many years and many hundreds of additional lives and many hundreds of billions of dollars away from claiming victory. Yes, Reading comprehension is required for admission to law school and mine is very good, thank you.

If Al Qaeda is defeated, why are we there?

Security, we will likely build a base there. After all we are still in Germany and Japan. Part of the American Empire now. We give back all of the land except for a few military bases. IMO Germany and Japan should be states by now.
