#3 Germany and Japan finally brought the war to an end too. Though they actually went through the ritual of signing a surrender document.

#4 Doubters. The one merely needs to deem that it is responsibly finished and that is more than sufficient.

#8 BIGNEWSNETWORK Artics say the Bammer Admin = US' support for Afghanistan was dependent on Kabul avoiding an IRAQ-style breakdown, thus of course the ISIS/ISIL is setting up there now.

* FYI IIRC FREEREPUBLIC > US STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS "WE [US = US-Allies] HAVE WON TWO WARS"; US PENTAGON SAYS ISIS EFFECTIVELY CONTROLS "LARGE AREAS OF IRAQ AND SYRIA".

IIUC, the US "won the war" or "won its war" by letting its enemy have or control the battlefield, + left in a good or strong position to take over or dominate the remainder in future time.

IFF DATS NOT "VICTORY", I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

* One again, 1990's CLINTONISM = D *** NG IT, WE WON THE WAR BY LOSING = "NOT WINNING" IT!

ITS SOUTH VIETNAM 1975, BUT THIS TIME IT MIGHT NOT BE ONLY SAIGON = JUST SE ASIA THAT FALLS.

* WORLD NEWS > [Independent.UK] ITS MORE LIKELY WILL ISIS ACHIEVE STATEHOOD THA CAMERON COMING TO THE RESCUE.

UK's Dave = US' Barack???

* GUAM K-57/PACIFICNEWSCENTER > GUAM + SAIPAN FILIPINOS JOIN GLOBAL RALLY AGZ CHINA PRESENCE IN WEST PHILIPPINE SEA.

That's good because Guam-CNMI is the bitter/long end of China's straight-line strategic direction of attack iff it decides to attack WESTPAC after attacking + leapfrogging from the Philippines.

ANOTHER REASON FOR DARTH VLAD TO SEND HIS "BEAR" BOMBERS TO FLY NEAR = OVER GUAM, + FOR THE JAPAN SDF TO SET UP IN THE CNMI.

Guam's best protection agz China + Nuclear Islam is, of course, formal US Statehood.
