How long will America's Warcupations go on?
One year? Will we be out of Iraq in 5 years? Out of Afghanistan in 10 years?

How long will America continue to occupy these two nations? Are we still having a war on terror? Are we just tuning it out and giving it up? Do millions of Americans even realize there are two wars still going on, left over from the previous maniacs?

Predictions please.

1. the 'wars' (a.k.a Turkey Shoots) will go on as long as it is profitable
for them to do so, even if it means bankrupting the U.S. Treasury.

That's my prediction.

4.  Combat operations in Iraq over in 10 months.
Afghanistan starts winding down in 18 months. A reduced presence starts then as well.
