fairly well. we know the price paid in american lives and limbs: 1100 dead, 8000 injured. we know the escalating cost in billion$. we perceive the price paid in lost american stature: incalculable. it's been a disaster for all involved. now the latest estimates put the number of iraqi
civilians killed at over 100,000. totally devastating, and the civil war hasn't even gotten going in any meaningful degree. my god mazer your pro-bush stance would embarrass pollyanna.
this war went anything but fairly well. fairy well "was weeks, not months", with most forum members (with an opinion) gung ho to get it going and done. no more. even pisser has seen reality. you’re the only person i know who thinks this total f-ck up from the initial lies to the continuing denial by bush family inc went well.
could it have gone worse? sure. and yet it may. but the fact that it could've been utterly disastrous tho hasn't so far doesn't define it as even remotely positive, and if as bush now continually insists this war is re-defined as part of the “larger was on terror” it's been an even bigger failure than if it was to just go in and get some magic wmd's. it has increased the numbers of terrorists sworn to destroy america logarithmically. osama couldn't be happier. as a matter of fact he's never looked better. after three long years the man responsible for 911 is still free to do as he pleases.
nothing good about this war. from the number dead to the failed objectives to the constitutional corrosiveness of an incompetent president who lies to send men and women and children to their early mass graves.
even the generals can't believe this one.
