Is Gulf War II Surpassing World War II?

According to Agence France-Presse, it is:

THEY were America's days of infamy, 60 years apart - Pearl Harbour and September 11. The first led the US into World War II, a conflict it endured for 1348 days; the second was followed by a war that from tomorrow will have lasted even longer.

On the other hand, if we count the occupation after regime change, World War II has lasted to the present.

Even if we only count occupations when there is a terrorist campaign going on in the background, we kept troops in occupied Dixie for over a decade … and went back in during the 1950s to finish the job.
