I never thought about any expectations of deaths. The war of attrition, over may years, will yield some sort of number of deaths to a point where it is no longer acceptable. Not that even one death is acceptable, but you know what I mean. The war will last for as long as there are American soldier targets in Iraq. And if there are no more American targets, there are always Sunni or Shi'ite targets. I'm sorry, but my opinion of the Arab mindset is one of violence and death bred from such an extreme form of zealotry that the only clear light I can see at the end of the tunnel is either a paradigm shift of the Islamic mindset (fat chance) or the demise of all that would kill in the name of mythological ignorance. I have an idea - why not educate the world? Then those who would not listen will ultimately be marginalized by the rest of the enlightened global population.

Total death toll will be in the millions.
How long the "war" lasts will be irrelevant.
There are no plans to withdraw, because withdrawal was never the plan. The stated goal of democracy in Iraq was a lie from the beginning.
A stable, democratic would pursue it's own best interest, not the best interests of the US or US corporations.
A stable, democratic Iraq would never allow the US to build and man permanent military bases within their borders.
The only way for the US to control the country is for the turmoil and violence to continue.
We have ensured the outcome we are seeing in many ways, here are just two:
The US donated 9 billion in cash to the insurgents and Al Qaeda in Iraq, by losing truckloads of money shortly after it arrived in Iraq.
The US has supplied weapons to our enemies in Iraq by losing track of thousands of various types of weapons. Supposedly the serial numbers were not even recorded before the weapons were disbursed?
We will have military forces in Iraq until the oil no longer matters.
The Congress has no plans, (Democrat or Republican) to remove all forces from Iraq.
They are using the excuse of funding the troops for continuing to allow the funding of the construction of the embassy and the military bases.
This war will last until our leadership wakes up and realizes that complete oil independence serves our national interest much better than complete military world domination.
170 bases in 130 countries so far. 4 million (+ or -) in our military, but the same 150,000 have to do all the fighting in Iraq/Afghanistan?
End the illegal occupation of Iraq
BRING ALL OF OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!!!

three categories of [additional] deaths:
Iraqi Civilians 10s to 100s of thousands, perhaps 1,000,000
Iraqi Insurgents/Military 10 to 50,000
US Military less than 1000
The US will be gone from most of Iraq by 2009; fighting will continue there for an unknown and unknowable time-- the Iran Iraq War lasted about 10 years, that's a reasonable assumption for the Iraqi Civil War.
A characteristic of this "ethnic cleansing" style of Civil War is the very high ratio of civilian to military casualties. Civilians are not "collateral damage" in this kind of civil war-- killing "the other guy's" civilian population is actually a war aim for both the Sunnis and the Shia
And unfortunately, it is very easy for armed men to kill civilians.

The war will last up to the US troops withdrawal from Iraq.It will cost more deaths the average of which is more greater than that for previous years.May be more than 100 Us soldiers deaths/one month and more than 3000 deaths of innocent Iraqi people per one month .

Personally, I think there could be as many as twice as many deaths as there are now. I dont think the war will ever be considered ended. Either Bush will not get re-elected and there will be a pullout, or the war will continue until every single extremist has died of old age.

My guesstimate our losses could reach as high as 5000 casualties by the end of Bush's term in 2008, that's if the escalation is maintained at the current level of US servicemen and women in IRAQ.But If Bush doubles or quadruples the number of American soldiers in Iraq then triple or quadruple that number : 15,000 to 20,000 .
Now that's a nightmare to mothers and fathers of those boys Bush is wasting in a WAR of lies and deceits!

Since that pesky enemy will not cooperate with us we do not when it will end. Are the leftists serious when they ask questions like this, are they really that naive or is it just a political stunt. I believe I would sleep better if it was just a power grab and that my fellow Americans could not be that stupid.
