The sad fact of the matter is that this war, much like Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and countless small wars we've been involved with in S. America and the Caribbean, was never meant to be won, there was never meant to be a "victory".

What these victoryless wars are all about, the only thing that they are about, is to provide expanded earning opportunities for the wealthly, elite and the military industrial complex. Victory is the furthest thing from the minds of our leaders when it comes to these wars, but rather how long can we keep these wars going in the face of public outrage and extract as much money as we can from the people.
