<<<Did We Win Or Lose?>>>

The sole object was to get rid of Saddam Hussein....that was the goal and that was was was achieved and a s such, the Coalition Forces...won.

[Gromit]

We achieved that in the first weeks of the war in 2003.

I don't think there have been any winners in the Iraq war.

Just thank the Lord that our boys are coming home. Although now they have Afghanistan to look forward to....

[bimbo123456]

Oops that should have read soldiers..apologies to any forces ladies out there.

[boxtops]

There was no winning or losing, it was about overthrowing a regime. That was achieved.

[Sqad]

Gromit...you didn't say "when did we win or lose it" you just said-" Did We Win Or Lose?"

and clearly the answer was ....Yes.

I thought it was about finding WMD !

[joggerjayne]

We won, beacuse we were the goodies, and the goodies always win.

French people don't see history that way, of course.

[Gromit]

Let's hope that when Gadafi is removed, we don't keep British Forces there in peril in Libya for 8 years.

There's only about 40 more Middle Eastern countries to sort out. Who shall we take on next?
