Sir i am not sure who would have said that. Iraq was never going to be America's Vietnam (besides, American's Vietnam was Vietnam itself!). It was always going to be Afghanistan. I am not saying that its all over for Americans in Afghanistan but lets be honest here, what is the current situation of US in Afghanistan? The installed a puppet regime that have no control whatsoever beyond Kabul. The had to brought in another terrorist outfit that they created, the ISIS in Afghanistan to keep Taliban in check and that attracted unnecessary attention of both Russia and China, even if you do not consider Pakistan to be a problem or important enough. At the end of nearly two decades and hundreds of billions of dollars spent, US have NOTHING to show for all this effort. No control beyond Kabul, an unfriendly country, pissed off neighbors who will be the most important players in the country once US withdraws (even are so today). It was a total failure!So you have it?
But but people said Iraq was America's Vietnam!!!
Iraq was never going to be Vietnam for US. Those who said so were wrong. As wrong as those who think that Afghanistan is a victory and not a disaster.
If they could have done that, they would never have gotten into that God forsaken place! This comment of yours show you maturity and total lack of knowledge on the subject. Ideally in such case, a person should LISTEN rather than SPEAK.america ab bahar se thonkega .
So you have anything more than one liners, conspiracy theories and "know it all about aliens" to contribute?not reality
Not quoting all your one liners but i suppose you will know about them yourself.
@I.R.A you to sir. I hope you will understand.
