For $100: In world history, what did America participate in that lasted about 3 years and 8 months?
You guessed it! WWII.
Well, why the heck are we still in Iraq? Is FDR the only one that knows how to go to war, and win? Or was Sadam and the terrorists that replaced Sadam more powerful than Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan COMBINED in the 40's?

I'm not sure. .
But after the voting theres a better chance that we will pull out. . But if we pull out think of all the familys of the people who have died over there. . That basically makes it look like they died for nothing. .

Keep in mind that although US involvement was only about 3 1/2 years, the world involvement was closer to 6 years. We jumped into Iraq at the first sign of trouble, whereas only Europe, China, and Japan were engaged at first.
That said, you are right. We need a "wartime consigliere" as a presidential advisor who will leave not one brick upon another in Iraq as long as the barbarians continue to fire weapons at us or at each other.

We are fighting an entirely different war in Iraq. But I guess details and facts are not part of your makeup.
