The way I see it, America cannot occupy Iraq for the next 4 years for the following reasons:
-The Iraqi people government won't let us
-Even if they did, the Iraqi PEOPLE wouldn't. There would be a popular uprising long before this time
-The American people won't stand for it, the war gets more unpopular by the month
-Even if the government tries, the pro-war candidates will get recalled/voted out and Congress will force a Vietnam-style withdrawl
-Bush leaves office in 2008, his policies are probably leaving with him given how unpopular he is
Whether we should stay or not is irrelevant. Whether we 'stay the course' or 'cut and run' or whatever isn't the US military's choice to make. Staying indefinitely makes no sense, leaving by a certain date makes no sense. Why stay through 2010 if we don't have to? It's the same as saying we can't win by that time. If the Army truly believes they cannot win within 4 years, what will more time do for the mission besides make it worse?
