Operation Earnest Will and is sub-operations (Praying Mantis etc) were quite successful.

Not to mention Operation Ajax. Although success is in the eye of the beholder.

Failed to achieve even a small measure of their objectives? You probably shouldn't believe the troll because that's just not true.

Korea - There are still no North Korean divisions dug in around Pusan, they've been kicked back to their border where they still reside. That's pretty much the entire war aim of the UN during that conflict.
Iraq - The war was to remove Saddam Hussain from power. That objective was accomplished.
Iran - Not sure how that can be called a defeat seeing as how we haven't even fought a war with them,... yet.

Yet again august the troll returns to talking pure bollox
1. False. the objective was unification and the removal of all foreign forces.
2. False. there was a huge pile of aims and objectives, getting rid of a powerless petty dictator was a meaningless minute part....but then again since just about every reason given as justification for the war was bollox it is not surprising its cheerleaders are still desperately grasping at straws.
3. wow you claimed they was already at war, something to do with you not undertanding anything about it and not understandfing what soveriegn territory is.
4. False. all failed in many ways and that 4th example is a prime example of the French failing to achieve any of its aims then the US and its allies also failing to achieve any of theirs....which also ties back to a failed aim of #1

Two things are of note.....
August failed in spectacular fashion to deal with what was actually written and then provided great examples of how to be incorrect on even a very limited sample of modern conflicts.
Mothballs chose only 3 direct conflicts out of the thousands of examples possible and seemed possibly very US centric in the choice.

seriously, your memory is that all of that was just to get rid of one medium-grade dictator?

But but but ...if it wasn't then what was it ...I mean what were ....what did they die for.....it was about getting rid of a Saddam and that is all there was to it so SHUT UP end of story
