Charles: OT: Michael Yon: The war in Iraq is over. We won. Which means the Iraqi people won. I wish I could say the same for Afghanistan. But that war we clearly are losing

Afghanistan is a stomach cancer operation, and Iraq is a Michael Jackson nose job. About halfway through the procedure on the stomach you told the surgeon to stop working, but keep the area irrigated, while he devoted his time and your money working on the nose job. He kept making mistakes, and your nose kept getting more and more lopped off until it looked like one of those little noses in a Japanese cartoon. Then the surgeon said he was going to quit in a few months, but you can pick his replacement. An old white-haired candidate said he liked the idea of just working on the nose, for a hundred years if that’s what it took. A young black candidate said the stomach cancer was about to metastasize and he promised to shift the whole operating team away from the nose job and just work on the stomach cancer.
