Do you agree with this statement about the Iraq war?

A friend of mine in the military recently said that the reason we haven't "won" this war is that "the army is at war, but the country is not. If the country was at war, it would have been over a long time ago."

I never really thought about it like that, but it makes sense. I'm not saying I would go back and support the war, but it makes you think. What do you think?

Update:

Lol. The incompetence of the Bush Administration is def not being questioned here. I think we can all agree on that :D

    I think everyone was behind the idea until they left Afghanistan and invaded Iraq. Then some eyebrows started to go up
