Failing to qualify for either standard, one can only say the war was completely illegal.

WRONG! There is ONLY one way for a war to be ILLEGAL and that is for the UN to declare it so. Check the Krajina Invasion, I was there. The UN said squat all. Check the Chechnya Invasion. The UN said squat all. Check the Sino-Vietnam Wars. The UN said squat all. Check the Sino-Soviet clashes. The UN said squat all. NONE OF THESE ACTIONS WERE ILLEGAL!

WHAT GLOBAL HUMILATION? The US is still in Iraq and as current evidence shows, the Iraqis are now turning to US forces just to get on with the basis of day-to-day living. Shia may now hate Sunni but at least US forces are allowing them to trade with each other.
And again, you are ABSOLUTELY WRONG Iran has the largest military. She can't even decide actions in Iraq wheras the Americans can.

Losses through war come in many shapes and size; lives are not the only thing America is losing right now.

Losing what? Just how old are you? I've lived through the Vietnam War. I've lived through the Sino-Vietnam Wars. I've lived through the Soviet-Afghan War and in all cases, the "looser" emerged stronger than before. Even the USSR though her collapse had nothing to do with Afghan War.

Let me get this straight - embarrassment = defeat?

You're welcome to leave anytime you want BUT you are NOT welcome to spill your bullcrap that we've spent over 10,000 posts debating upon to which you have NOT bother to read.
It is one thing to offer your opinion up to for challenge but it is quite another to come into our home telling us we don't know crap when we have read have your crap before and proven it wrong ... and continue to do so.
