how do YOU judge the iraq war - a success or failure? And can you clarify how you reached this conclusion? Remember the initial belief was that it would take only a few months, with minimal cost and casualties, we'd be greeted as liberators, and their oil would pay for it all. Seven years later, we still have 60k troops and 190k independent contractors there, it's approaching $2 trillion cost, 4000+ dead, 20000+ injured/maimed. if it's a success, it sure isn't by any measurement Bush and friends promised in 2003.
