There are far more deaths day to day in Detroit and Washington D.C. than there are in Iraq.
The occupation of Japan lasted seven years after the war ended. Officially the allied occupation of Germany continues to this day because almost 60 years after the end of WWII a peace treaty has never been signed. Americans need to learn some patience. Thank God we have some leaders with vision and who have a firm idea of who the enemy really is that we face in the war on terror. The Muslim extremists have never faltered in their resolve to destroy us for thousands of years and we find it hard to hold out for ten. |
You are joking right?. There is no winning in Iraq. We didn't go there to get a Democracy instilled. Are you forgetting the reasons we were told we were going there?. Are you aware how many times after no WMD's were found the reasoning for being there has changed?. You cant just occupy a country and instill your belief system, it cannot be done. It is and always will be a Muslim nation and there will be a revolution as soon as we leave, whenever we leave. Why wait, lets get the remaining troops home, the result will be the same. Besides man, the mission was declared accomplished in '03 on an air craft carrier. What happened?. Many troops are coming home wounded only to find there homes are gone, their wives bedding with someone else and dead broke. I'm more concerned about them.
