    Failed? Iraq was the only successful invasion. The US friendly puppet government is still in power today.

    Now if you think the war was actually to end "terrorism" I can see how you would think that, but it was all about removing unfriendly governments to ensure the flow of oil.

    If you said Afghanistan you'd have been right

    If we're to include the low intensity part of the Russo-Ukrainian war to the low intensity part of the Second Gulf War, it's already passed that. The second Gulf War lasted from 2003 to 2011 (8 years) and the Russo-Ukrainian war has lasted from 2014 to present (12 years)
