It's already been too many. What a tragedy this whole AVOIDABLE war is. I'm so disgusted with our "leadership".

Based on politics alone. The next President will be running for reelection and political motivation will cause them to remove the troops. Sorry.

Got to watch over the oil, and never stop doing so.

6. Long before the invasion, and just before the Patriot Act first passed
I had a vision of Iraq as a US Penal Colony. That vision has not changed at all over the years. I can still see it happening and I weep for my people.

"We're fighting a war" "We have to support the troops" "You can't cut funding and support the troops" Therefore, you can't EVER cut funding. Therefore there will ALWAYS be troops there.

11. If this thing goes much more beyond two years...
or in the likelihood that it's expanded, as the middle east is very close to completely conflagrating, we'll need to institute a draft, then all bets are off.
