We have done that

We have done that - Saddam is gone - Army disbanded. We WON the war. What we didn't do is stabilize the country.

A good thing to note because the US has always sold WWII as though they won it and in fact they entered it during the middle phase. Countries like England and Canada and Australia were long in that war before the US even entered it.

I get pretty sick and tired of the brits trying to play down the role the US played. Fact is that if it wasnt for us, the brits would be speaking german or russian right now.
