Iraqi occupation supporters do realize that the US will have to start downsizing its presence in Iraq by March of 08 don't you? The Army cannot sustain the current level of commitment past that point. Unless you want to extend the tours to 18 months or more. I can provide links to this fact if you really need them. If you do need them, then you've just proven that you don't pay attention to the news, and that includes Fox.

Actually it is not an occupation. We are there to assist the Iraqi government.

I'm with Brian on that one. There are a lot of flaws with Bush's handling of the effort, but when you folks say things like "war for oil" and call it an "occupation" or say that "we invaded the wrong country" as if somehow we'd thought that Iraq was responsible for 9/11, you lose us - you start to place yourself in the same camp as the people who insist that "9/11 was an inside job."

When you drive I guess technically you are occupying your car. When you are at home you are occupying your house.
You do realize, don't you?
That our military also consist of the Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Not just the Army. Also half of our presence in the ME is by civilian contractors. We are not going anywhere pal. Get it through your brain which is occupying your skull.

I have to wonder what the generals who asked for 600,000 troops were smoking, if it's true the US military can't even field 159,000 for any length of time...

During WW II many troops were deployed for several years or more without leave. Don't be so sure of yourself.
