3 years later is the US winning the war?

Mike, I think you really don't get it.

Why did the US go to war with Iraq?

It wasn't about terrorists - there were no real terrorists in the country (except Saddam himself, but he wasn't a terrorists in the Bin Ladin way).

It wasn't because the US felt threatened - maybe only Isreal was vaguely threathened.

The US went to war on Iraq because they failed to let UN inspectors in to try to find the (non-existant, apparently) weapons of mass destruction. The war was started because Saddam failed to lilve up to the UN resolutions on the issue. That is EXACTLY what your President said.

In reality, you can trace this one all the way back to W's Daddy...

Please don't re-write history Mike, go back and read... do the timeline thing. See what the President said in his speech (you know, the one where he talked about "shock and awe"). See why he said 1000+ americans had to die in Iraq.

It isn't anywhere near as nice as they try to make it now.
