Victory before the battle?

They used to have the parade after the war probably holding the heads of the defeated in their hands.
White Bosphorus?
Cost benefit paralysis set in.
He was counting his passes.
There’s no accounting for waste.
USA War parade.Go figure.
She flaunted her flotsam.
All things being a sequel.
Why would stones want moss?
And there is no other cook!
How many lives are well, flossed?
