We lost in Vietnam.
We lost in Iraq.
We're losing in Afghanistan.
We're losing in Yemen.
We're losing in Libya.
At no point in our illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq did we resolve the tribal differences that create conflict between the Sunnis, shiias and Kurds.
With considerably more boots on the ground than we could afford, for a duration of decades, we might have controlled the three conflictive peoples who populate Iraq.
And it would have broken our own country.
Do you really expect us to believe your crapola that we "won" in Iraq?
You're a much bigger fool than I thought ... LOL
What the President Johnson Vietnam war has to do with this, I have no clue. We lost because it was on TV. Had WWII had as much TV coverage, you'd have lost that one for us too.
No, we lost in Vietnam because the American people never considered the North Vietnamese a real threat to our country. As for Iraq, here is what your Progressives said about the victory.
Clinton also said Bush should not be faulted if banned weapons of mass destruction aren't found."I don't think you can criticize the President for trying to act on the belief that they have a substantial amount of chemical and biological stock. . . . That is what I was always told," Clinton said.

"Could Be One of the Great Achievements of This Administration" The vice president said he’d been to Iraq 17 times and visits the country every three months or so. "I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society" he said. "It's impressed me. I've been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences."
- Vice President Joe Biden (D) Feb. 10, 2010 How has the war President Barack Hussein Obama said we SHOULD have been fighting going? How is the Middle East going now that President Obama is President? Oh, Afghanistan just crossed 2,400 American fatalities. Seventy percent of whom died since President Obama took office.
The war Obama fought in Iraq and in Afghanistan were wars he inherited. Neither one of them was necessary to protect the safety of Americans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Is45Jwqizc
Why do you constantly lie about simple to find FACTS?
