How much longer do you think we will be in Iraq?

Answer 1

Til the idiot we have for President (Bush), is out of office!!!

Answer 2

Well ive heard British troops will be staying in Iraq for another 3 years but its an American campaign so they could be there for the same amount of time or maybe longer.

Answer 3

it seems no one watches the news anymore. we will be there forever. the military will slowly in a few years rotate out our guys, but many will be staying . they will have bases and large numbers there for a few reasons. if we left. it would go back to a civil war state. by staying, we have central bases and more control of all the terrorist countries surrounded it. most u.s. large bases alone have about a third of what we claim to have in irag around the world. the average base has tens of thousands on it at any one time. we have alot more than 140,000 troops over there along with allied troops. no one will ever admit to the total as its kept secret.

Answer 4

Hopefully not much longer. Our troops need to come home and let Iraq fight for themselves.

Answer 5

If I can guess.. I would guess that we would be mostly out by 2008 sometime. As far as Iraq being able to care for itself by then.. NO.

Answer 6

I remember hearing on the news that it will be around 3-6 more years.

Answer 7

Until it ends...

Yes we created many things during the Cold War, but nobody is placing any of the blame on the former Soviet Union either. The world was to be divided, and we had to have allies. We did not choose the leaders of those countries, but we supported the ones in place to stop the Communist Aggression (yes, even Saddam was aided-especially against Iran--or did you forget the 444 days?).

We do not choose violence, it chooses us. In order for me to fully believe that you believe violence can be ended, start with your own small piece of the world. Stop all violence and crime in your own town. Stop Drunk Drivers, Robberies, Rape, Torture, Child Abuse, Reckless Drivers....the list goes on. People have a desire to break the law. I'm sure you have INTENTIONALLY drove faster than the speed limit, crossed a street against a red light (even if nobody is there, it is still illegal)..something illegal yourself.

Wars are started when people develop power and use it to further their greed, hatred or beliefs. World War II was a result of Hitler hating Jews and being greedy. He spread throughout Europe amassing riches AND exterminating Jews at every turn. The War on Terrorism is a simple case of our survival. To compare it, we are Hitler's Jews, but we are fighting back. Al-Qaeda does not have borders, they are a fanatical, religious extremist group bent on the utter destruction and extermination of all Judeo-Christians in the world. They are attacking the strongest first (USA and Isreal) in order to exterminate anyone raised in that culture of infidelity, even American Muslims will be killed. After us, the world will fall without the great protector to save them. "There is but one God, and Allah is His name." This is not a war of politics, borders, money...it is a war to annihalte us, and to save our very existence. Osama even offered to pull all of Al-Qaeda ("insurgents") out of Iraq, "leave them to govern themselves, if we pulled all troops out of Iraq, then we could continue our battle in the streets and towns of America" to keep it going. Do you want to wake up to a Saber to YOUR throat because you are an American? The very rights and freedoms you have, that allow you to choose YOUR religion, or even a lack of it, are the reasons they want YOU dead. Hezbollah are religious terrorist from many countries, hiding in Lebanon, using Lebanon as a base to attack Isreal. Do not hate the Isrealis for killing innocent Lebanese, hate Hezbollah for forcing the Isrealis to chase them in to Lebanon and starting the fighting. Lebanon and Isreal actually get along.

We are not being violent, we are defending our right to exist. If you want to help their cause, end your own life now, and that will be one less for them to kill. If this upsets you, to know they want your entire family to die, your sisters and brothers beaten and killed, your mother's head sawed off, then do something to stop all of this. Raise awareness, enlist and defend, volunteer around your community, talk to people....do something, but don't listen to those that are sympathizers and getting rich from this war.

Answer 8

Until the job is finished and the Iraqi people can defend themselves.
