Then why didn't we fight to win and why aren't we fighting to win now? And what happened to Afghanistan? The raw truth is that war equals money to certain people in this country and leaves the middle and lower income people with empty pockets and sons & daughters to bury.

"Halliburton, the Texas company which has been awarded the Pentagon's contract to put out potential oilfield fires in Iraq and which is bidding for postwar construction contracts, is still making annual payments to its former chief executive, the vice-president Dick Cheney.
The payments, which appear on Mr Cheney's 2001 financial disclosure statement, are in the form of "deferred compensation" of up to $1m a year."

Afghanistan was a just war due to 9/11 that was left by the wayside for Iraq. Just a Daddy Do-Over. There is no defense for invading Iraq. It's that simple.
