What, if anything, do you think the US has accomplished in Iraq?

What, if anything, has been our biggest failure?

Got rid of Saddam and they have an actual elected government, how long that will last remains to be seen.

And why was getting rid of Saddam up to us in the first place?

I didn't say it was up to us, I just answered the question what was accomplished in Iraq.

We've spent trillions of dollars of taxpayer money that could have been put to better use right here at home...that pretty much answers both questions.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.
