[QUOTE="Jones, post: 120344, member: 4805"] It all depends on how you look at things, how you define "war", and how you define winning and losing. Al-Qaeda's primary goal has always been the removal of US troops from middle eastern countries, Saudi Arabia in particular (I'm always suprised at how few people are aware of this), and since there are now more US troops there than ever I think you would have a hard time making the case that they have won, or are even in the process of winning. If you asked Osama what he was trying to accomplish, I very much doubt he would say "I want the Canadians to be more worried". I suspect he's not too ecstatic about being stuck in a cave all this time either. Terrorism didn't start on 9/11 and it won't end if and when we kill or capture Bin-Laden. "Winning" this war won't be defined by an endpoint, it will be a continuous process whereby we keep the threat at a manageable level. [/QUOTE]
