Can you see the USA pulling out of Iraq or afghanistan in the foreseeable future? (25 years or less)?

Question

to me it looks about as perpetual as perpetual gets.

and I am not talking in the same manner as we are in Korea or germany. I am talking hot shooting war with casualties being inflicted and suicide bombers still doing their things and mass graves being uncovered.....perpetually.

Answer 1

Odly enough, this reminds me of the Korean war. Just a peace treaty. No, if we stay after the new president takes office,we are looking at 25 yrs.

Answer 2

We will be pulling out of Iraq because we do not have the troops to sustain the war. We will probably have a small number of troops for 10 to 20 years to keep a fragile balance and of course protect oil fields for multinational corporations. Afghanistan will likely be easier but until we allow them to grow poppies legally for the manufacture of a worldwide shortage of Morphine. We will likely see little change. With no real resources the US needs I doubt a long term presence there.

Answer 3

I see us having a base of operation, but we could have done that 3 years ago if leadership were competent and more honest,

rather than this wasteful nonsense.

There are options and choices. Some of them neither simple or easy.
But
there is ONE thing we H a v e to do
in the next 25 years.

We have to Smart-en up.

Answer 4

I think we're gonna run outta money pretty soon. That war is rather expensive and we have no way left to pay for it. So I predict before 2012 at least.

Answer 5

I hope so they never should have been there in the 1st place, which set of all this change of events because of it.
