Re: The Capture of Basra.
The point is that we have never engaged in any foreign wars for the
purpose of conquering and possessing other nations.
War of 1812: Tried to conquer British Canada. Failed.
Mexican American War: Tried to conquer Mexico. Succeeded. Note the existance of the southwestern states.
Spanish American War: Tried to conquer Spanish territories in our sphere of influence. Succeeded.
Where the heck did you get idea that the US never engaged in foreign wars for possession of territory?

Of course, biblical creationists are committed to belief in God's written Word, the Bible, which forbids bearing false witness; --AIG (lest they forget)
