It hasn't been a failure. Our military objective was to take over the country, overthrow a despotic genocidal dictator, and establish a temporary government. Then hold democratic and free elections. Create a stable government, which would then structure a constitution. Enable Iraqi security forces to become self-sufficient, and in the process keep the country as securily stable as possible.galenrox said:Because they're listening to the NEWS, liberals don't dislike the war just for the hell of it, liberals dislike the war because up until now it's been a failure. And I listen to the news, and I hear good news and bad news about the war (and it's usually about the same amount of good news and bad news).
We have done, or are working on all of that. We have failed in nothing. We lost nothing. It's true that insurgents, terrorists and foreign fighters continue to randomly car bomb certain areas, but the country as a whole is on the right path.
It depends on what news source you listen to. The report I listed above was based on national media outlets like the whitehouse press core and nightline. There are other studies that show local news outlets like your local 6 o'clock news are much more balanced than national outlets.
