Happy Fifth Anniversary
The United States was in World War I and World War II for a combined five years, three months, and thirteen days.
Of course, in those wars, the U.S. had clear enemies, obvious strategic objectives, and competent Presidents.
Think we'll be out of Iraq by July 3rd? Do you think we'll actually have heard the President tell us what "victory" actually means in this war by then? How many more corners are there to turn? Do we know who we're even fighting? Is "al Qaeda" just Arabic for "whoever we're shooting at at the moment and/or suspects in plots vague enough that we can say we've thwarted them"?
"No one would argue that this war has not come at a high cost in lives and treasure," says the President, as if he's a D&D villain who's just had his lair cleaned out by adventurers.
