Yes, as of today the war in Iraq has lasted longer for America than our entire European component of World War II, from Pearl Harbor to V-E day.
Well done, George and Dick. FDR and his VP finished up the war against Hitler in that amount of time, and FDR was a Democrat on his deathbed who was working with commies.
On the other hand, at least we've avoided having a Vice President suddenly having the most powerful office in the world and using it to drop atomic weapons on opposing countries.
So far.

Hey!!!!!! How dare you go attacking our Commander in Chief!!! Yeah, maybe we have been in Iraq longer then we were in Europe. So? Look at all the things this war's successful execution has given us. There's... uh... well.. that thing and...uh... that other thing.... and.... uh.... something like that. Well, I'm sure Fox News can tell all you about it. Now, let this be a lesson to you!Mez (11:59 PM on Mon Sep 11, 2006)
Only another 3-and-a-bit months for Pearl Harbour-Japanese surrender! (and not counting from September 1939 to December 1941, when Aussies, Europeans & the rest of The British Empire were at war.) Will that take us about to Christmas?
