How long do you think this war in Iraq is going to go one?

I think it will last for another 2 more years. I hope it don't last that long but it looks like it might.

Considering that tours of duty have been extended and 3700 more troops deployed to Bagdhad....probably a LONG time

I believe it will last through the Bush administration. Too many of his friends are making a lot of money, your tax dollars, off this to stop now. He wants to milk this oil crisis creation of his for as long as he can, as well.

Based upon that, i would say we are gearing up to make his friends who are not trillionaires like he and his family are..

As long as it needs to to finish the job? It's a good thing we're doing there whether people can see it now or not. You can't change a country in 8 years. Give it time. Besides, going into iraq was the correct decision anyway as logic points out to us. al qaeda was in iraq, iraq supports al qaeda. put 2 and 2 together and wow!

what im saying is exactly what I wrote! read it carefully! Al Qaeda attacked us. Killed thousands of our civilians. Iraq supports Al Qaeda. Saddam Hussein was an evil tyrannical dictator that supported a terrorist faction that killed thousands of US citizens. We had to attack them. If we didnt, we would not be taking the fight to them. Plus, we arent turning them into a theocracy we're introducing democracy there to protect ourselves.

Five years might bring about a total withdrawl.

This will take a long time. If Bush decides to pull the troops out of Iraq, what would be the consequences? I don't know what to think, It feels like it's not our war but at the same time what if the troops aborted their mission, are we going to be safe?

I think this will continue until they get what they wanted. I would not say, it will last for another two more years or 3, or 5 years.. What I can say is it will still take a long time to finish this war. If the Al Quaeda surrender themselves, then war is to end but the question is WHEN?

We just hope that one day, PEACE will be achieved.

War should be declared as a last resort, then it should be pursued with all the resources available.

The last president to follow that idea was Franklin Roosevelt.

Because the war in Afghanistan has been ignored in favor of the idiot and chief's invasion of Iraq, the war in Afghanistan will last for years.

Because the war in Iraq was both based on untruths and criminally mismanaged, it will last for decades.

It was decided in around 2000 taht we would go in. It was also decided, in my oppinnion, that we would not leave until the oil runs out. It is not so much having the Iraqi oil in the US as having control of the Iraqi oil.

On where I got it, it was from a book by jimmy Carter. On the oil, I said it is about "controlling" the oil. Not using it. The fact of power or control drives almost everyones politics these days.
