You know the Glorious War for the Furtherance of Freedom and Democracy is going well when its Supreme Architect reaches for "not a quagmire" as PR spin.

This is amazing shit. Usually it takes years for America's wars to become quagmires.

Trump again proves he's faster than other Presidents at making quagmires. The best quagmires you've ever seen!

OK. Y'all are under the impression that he even knows the definition of the word "quagmire".
