No

WWII began in 1939 and ended in 1945. The second gulf war (the current 
Iraq war) began in 2003. If it lasts until March of next year (most 
likely), then it will have. However, Iraqi military was defeated shortly 
after the initial invasion.

But all of that is beside the point. The US public lost its will for the 
war a long time ago. It's only been through the far-sighted view of 
their leaders that we stayed long enough to begin to turn the tide.
