1. Other
In five years tops, US troops in Irac will be decimated by the national resistance.

2. War is good!...
... at scaring the crap out of people, making them nationalistic and lean to the right in general.
The repuklikans will be waging "the war on terror" forever.

This is an un-winable war.

That said, Support our troops ! Bing them home !

3. Soon domestic
The TPTB will soon wage war on Greens, the only noteworthy opposition to US two-party imperialism (the loony and smarty imperialist parties, both insane in their denial). Then the fascists will come for progressive democrats, who don't like what is being done to Greens. The War Against Terror (TWAT) is essentially US domestic.

4. I voted for number 1, but.....
not because of the war on terror since that is a fake concept.
I chose #1 because of the length of time. We will be at war in Iraq until they run out of oil, or we run out of money whichever comes first.

7. Sen John McCain said "Ten, twenty years...that's not so bad"
Edited on Thu May-12-05 06:14 PM by EVDebs
In Bob Herbert's "Heads in the sand" article
http://www.tkipp.net/html/editorials/columns/herbert/herbert_040903.html

"When asked this week on CNN how long the U.S. military is likely to remain in Iraq, Senator John McCain replied "probably" 10 or 20 years. "That's not so bad," he said, adding, "We've been in Korea for 50 years. We've been in West Germany for 50 years."

And on March 16, 2005, Shrub himself said the US will leave Iraq once the Iraqis could defend themselves. But we're building 14 permanent bases in Iraq...

Who's lying ?
