neither was Vietnam (a victory)

Vietnam was, indeed, a victory. Perhaps not in the way some would view it, but never the less, that is exactly what it was.

If you think that North Vietnam was the enemy in that war then, no, it was not a victory.

Unfortunately Iraq is anything but a victory, neither is Afghanistan, neither was Vietnam.

But I do support the War in Afghanistan, Iraq was nothing but an oil grab.

Yea, it was an oil grab.
