Democrats Take House, Senate Undecided

Every news publication on earth is saying mostly the same thing. The Democrats have taken the house picking up a sizable number of seats. But the Senate remains a tossup with a few undecided seats holding the balance. Concerns of voter fraud have been heard from around the nation as well.

Re:Will they be able to make things better?

Yes, I'll agree that it could be better, but I responding to the GGP that called Iraq a disastrous failure, which it is not.

Of course our invasion of Iraq was an amazing success. We walked in, killed a few soldiers, dispersed a few more, captured their leader, and will be executing him shortly. And now, we can't possibly be failing. After all, how can you fail when you don't have any plans to fail at?

If Iraq is a disastrous failure, what was D-Day?

A well executed, risky plan that had a high casualty rate, but also had specific goals and plans to meet those goals. Multiple countries' armies attacked specific points along a defensive line, broke through the defensive line, and marched on through to the points they were supposed to be capturing as part of the process of attacking the defending army.

Casualty rate is merely a measure of the difference in enemy weaponry and training versus your armor and training. I can capture the hill outside my office building without even firing a shot, but doing so is rather meaningless, even if nobody died in the invasion.
