Ummmm. The US didn't invade Iraq until 3-20-2003. The US invaded
Afghanistan in October, 2001. So, we couldn't have had this discussion
about Iraq until 2003 and nothing much was said in Fidonet about the war
with the Taliban in 2001 because a lot of Europeon troops were also
involved there.

 WD> Björn and Michiel and I stressed that:

 WD> * Such wars cannot and will not be won. Which was proven correct.

You mean you've been proven wrong. Iraq is under a new leadership and has
not been invaded nor occupied by anyone else. The US has pulled all but a
few troops out of the country, upon request of the democratically elected
government.

 WD> * It would cost thousands of casualties on the side of the attackers.

By attackers of course you meant the Al Quaida terrorists who tried,
unsuccessfully in spite of you three's nay saying, to bring Iraq and the
US to their knees.

 WD> Which was proven correct.

Where's your proof now?

 WD> * It would cost a fortune. Which was proven correct

It cost what the national legislature alloted to it. As did the forces
that were sent there by Europeon countries.

 WD> * The civilian death toll would be beyond comprehension. Which was
 WD> proven correct.

Unless you're speaking of the victims of the Iraq dictator, Bullshit!

 WD> You doubted it all ... it all turned out correct.

No, we doubted you and you didn't turn out to be correct.

 WD> You're now mereley repeating that cycle. People keeping the archives
 WD> will confirm my words.

I keep archives and your words may be in them, but you have proved
nothing by them.
