The Vietnam war was 10 years....How about Iraq?

No.
What we are seeing now is a lot of revenge killings as people formerly persecuted by Saddam's thugs are now hunting them down. Not a wonderful state of affairs but an indication the the Iraqi people are losing their fear of the terrorists.

No. It's a completely different situation in Iraq than it was in Vietnam. Contrary to what people believe, we are winning the war in Iraq whereas Vietnam was truly a "quagmire", though a noble one. There are two completely different ways and I'd expect we'll be there 3-4 more years at the very most.

I think we can leave Iraq when we make sure that every Iraqi is armed. That way they can have a democracy, and whoever survives wins. That's the Iraq democracy, We will be there maybe 20 more years, we arm the Iraqis and make them do all the fighting, and we will be there to protect the new Iraqi government. We will probably have just 10,000 to 50,000 troops there in 20 years, and we will have a base over there to. We are never going to leave Iraq. We are not going to leave Iraq, because it is a strategic interest in the Middle East. We left Vietnam because its not a strategic interest. We are going to stay friends with the new Iraqi government, and politicans are going to keep playing games, like saying possible troop reductions next year. The Iraqi government is going to play games like say that want us out, but they really don't wont us out, so we will just stay there.

The Vietnam war and the Iraq war are different. The first was fighting for an ideal, anti-communism. The second is fighting for oil - so when the wells run dry, the war is over.

If he nevertheless has that ear piece in place he might respond that it wasn't his fault, and attempt to place the blame on some democrat, as a results of fact republicans on no account different than duty for the leads to their judgements. If that element has ultimately been surgically bumped off he will in simple terms drool and have a sparkling stare on his face like ninety 9 % of his frequent day.

It will end when Iraq is divided into 3 separate states; Kurds, Shi'ites and Sunnis.

More importantly: will erudite still be asking the same questions over and over again 10 years from now (when he's in his sixties)? I feel badly that he is lonely and sad. I wish he could find just one friend.

the war will end after G. Bush finishes his term... then it will start again in 8 years, when his brother Jeb Bush becomes president...
