Question

"How Long is a Throe"?

Answer 1

These things so do go away quickly. Historical evidence is that terrorists will continue to operate long after their cause has failed.

This sort of thing is not a movie where the entire plot is neatly wrapped up after 120 minutes.

The trick is to follow the trends. For example fewer US soldiers died last month than the same month a year ago. The Iraqi security forces are conducting independent operations (look at yesterday's operation in Sadr city for example).

These are all trends - and what you need to follow if you want to understand how well we are doing.


Whoops I just noticed who posted this question. I apologize for providing a factual answer - you seem not to want these.

Answer 2

Dick Cheney is totally out of focus, so indeed are almost all the serving guys in the Bush Administration.

Its going to continue for decades? The cost in lives to US and foreign armies serving there will far exceed the casualty figure of Vietnam. It's not Vietnam, its totally unrelated to Vietnam, in no way whatsoever does it compare to Vietnam. This is a war for keeps. Its the Muslims war. It'll just go on and on and on! No amount of assassination, murder, torture, mutilation, as daily and indiscriminately applied against Arab or Foreign Nationals by the extreme clerical elements of Islam will ever be curtailed as long as one foreign foot walks its land or anyone Arab stands forth to challenge the clerics. The western world is totally out of balance in measuring up to the reality of fundamental Islamic extremists.

It's Islam at its extreme! Western Morales, standards, values, practises, custom and culture and countless other aspects of western life are indoctrinated into Muslim minds as totally alien to its so called culture and society; forbidden and prohibited to its peoples and made all the more alien by the ongoing teachings of its Muslim clerics who are totally unelected & rule by indoctrination of their people from the cradle to the grave, enhanced by the the sword, the knife and the gun and preach nothing other than to hate all non muslim nations and their ways.

As an ex soldier having observed them, lived amongt them, been entertained by them, been beaten up by them, robbed by them, insulted by them, fought them, killed them to survive and fully equalled the score, seen what they have done and daily do to their own race and foreigners - Iraq will continue to cost the lives of foreigners for no reason whatsoever. Leave them to it, stand back and withdraw, it was never our fight in the first place!
