How many feel we will be in Iraq for a long time to come ?

[blues90]

With all the permanent bases already there and all the money and time spend on just these efforts I have a very difficult time believing the US will be out anytime soon . Beside this the main reason we went in there was for the oil which is another resource this admin is not likey to let go .

Even with all the speculation on Iran and everything else I still feel we are in Iraq for a long time to come . They have spend decades to get to this point and lied to us all the way there .

No one really has any solution for Iraq in the state it is in now .

I also have to wonder how the talk about cutting funding will go , I do believe if funding is cut bush will leave the troops out there with nothing after all look at how the troops are treated once they get home damaged and war torn .

As you know bush will give his speach of lies tonight and there is much speculation how this will turn out . I don't expect anything to change at all .
