What Defines "Victory" ? Continuing down this path could be throwing away Trillions more and can't even define when you "Win".
The winner in Iraq is China..and they weren't even nominated..

Are you still working on the reply to "What defines victory on the "War on terror"? I guess I am the only one getting sick of my money making Billionaires out of Defense contractors and millionaires out of our "represenatives" who

1. Know where the contracts are going and are legally allowed to trade that info
2. "Retire" with a nice pension from thier government positions to accept positions from the same folks they steered contracts to.

But keep blaming my grandma getting her Social Security and those getting assistance like it is 1981 and jobs are plentiful and companies actually cared for thier employees and the future of the country.

exactly! another thing i can't stand is double dipping. where a govt worker 'retires' for 30 days, and then is re-hired, thus receiving both pension and salary.
