Some say the War on Terror ended when W. declared victory for Operation Iraqi Freedom on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln — superficial and fleeting though it was.

If by “mission accomplished,” W. meant plunging Iraq into decades-long civil war fueled by Iranian partisans and unleashing ISIS on the world — which I would content was, in fact, a success for defense contractors who profit from endless war — then his self-congratulatory speech was warranted.
