I know the dust still has to settle but it seems like we basically have the same result without the huge loss of life and pissing off the population.

No. A stable government has not replaced the Islamic regime yet.

The part that took a decade to do in Iraq hasn't even been started brother. Let's hope it doesn't.

That also took well less than a decade.

Too early to say but the major difference between this and Iraq is the local population’s feelings on it. It makes it a totally different situation and everyone equating the two are missing this.

We have work to do, but the usual suspects who are comparing this operation to Iraq are, as usual, clutching at straws.

Not sure who is correct but both times are longer than the few hours it took Trump.

Of course you are probably the liar here.

You have yet to realize the dynamic shift in Presidential power, and the strings attached with the Democratic Party and the Military Industrial Complex.

The war in Iraq and the war on "terror" was designed to profit with substantial tax payer money enriching themselves with war.

As with Trump, it's quick decisive strikes accomplishing a mission, and leaving.

Bush was a NWO guy with bent knee to the globalists.

Trump is a NWO guy with bent knee to GOD and his hand on the Holy Bible promising to protect the United States of America!!

No. We were attempting something completely different in Iraq.
