Majority Now See Failure in Iraq and Afghanistan

“After more than a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the public does not think the United States has achieved its goals in either country,” according to a new Pew Research survey.

“About half of Americans (52%) say the U.S. has mostly failed to achieve its goals in Afghanistan while 38% say it has mostly succeeded. Opinions about the U.S. war in Iraq are virtually the same: 52% say the United States has mostly failed in reaching its goals there, while 37% say it has mostly succeeded.”
