I think it will take a long time to do that but that we can get perhaps 2/3 of our troops out in the next couple of years if all keeps going reasonably well. That will be good because we will need them for our invasion of Iran!  |
cam, I find your answer to be unsatisfying. with all due respect, I'm not interested in what you or the other Bush apologists think the desired outcomes are to define success in this ill-concieved, ill-executed war. my question still is what does bush say the goals are? what does he see as the finish line so that we all know when we get there? other than the nebulous "win the war on terrorism" what does he want to achieve in iraq/afghan?
very funny about the war-mongering on iran absent direct threats to the US ( and not more of the slight of hand bush used for iraq.
