Hehe, aint it funny when ppl still today think that US and it's allies could still win in Afghanistan or in Iraq?

Whats funny is that a win in Iraq was never really possible.
Afghanistan was possible though if they had stuck to the important conditions they knew they had to follow before they invaded. A massive troop presence for a very short duration matched with rapid and sustainable improvements delivered for the population, plus of course the near total avoidance of air/artillery strikes on populated areas because of the cultural/political landscape of the country.
