There is nothing to suggest that are occupation of Iraq is temporary. Most people are saying at least 5 years.

5 years would be temporary.


Temporary is six months. Five years........you need to start looking for a house.

I guess I will have to define what I mean by fighting. I don't just mean winning a skirmish or battle but ridding the land of the insurgents.

If ridding the land of the enemy is winning then they aren't winning either.


That may be true but it doesn't make it okay.

While we may be successful in face to face combat, the insurgents abilities, technology and strength are growing.

I don't think they are. They may have acquired a few more weapons or developed a few new techniques but they aren't really gaining strength or popularity.


Even the army commanders based over there are saying the level of sophistication of the insurgents and their equipment is improving. In fact, the raid on two Iraqi police stations this past week was well orchestrated using a military style of attack.

Why do you keep trying to mitigate what's going on over in Iraq? The situation is anything but good.
