Type in 'US lost Iraq war' into google.I've never heard the Iraq War described as a loss, just a catastrophe.
What's funny is how many people actually force themselves to believe this. I know this is just a spirited troll, but it may as well be genuine.Bottom line is that we've never truly lost a war in our nation's history. No other G8 country can say that.
Vietnam was a strategic withdrawal because the South Vietnamese didn't have the will to fight the Viet Cong any more (we can gift guns, but we can't gift courage).
Also, people correctly point out that U.S. policy in Iraq caused the growth of ISIS from Al-Qaeda in Iraq, but they forget that former Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki's refusal to sign the Joint Service Agreement was what led to a mass withdrawal of our troops. Once shit hit the fan with ISIS and the country under new PM Haider al-Abadi signed such an agreement, ISIS territory has gone to almost zero (they might control one or two chicken farms in southwestern Iraq).
We've saved Iraq and we've saved northern Syria, just like we saved South Korea in the 50s and all of Western Europe and East Asia in the 40s.
No need to thank us, just stop bitching.
Canada lost its right to independence for over 200 years because its people were too scared to rebel.Also, what war has Canada lost? They are part of the G8.
I'll pay that.Canada lost its right to independence for over 200 years because its people were too scared to rebel.
Not a loss under the traditional definition but a loss all the same.
In all seriousness, I should have been more descriptive. No, Canada has never lost a war, BUT it's only had complete independence, which it gained peacefully, since 1982.I'll pay that.

You were born when your country still didn't have full independence from the crown.Verbal tap.

I can't even say that about my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather.
You and your complicated math.
