Each of those quotes sounds accurate in that the conflict did only last weeks and not months. I don't read into those quotes that US forces will leave Iraq within weeks, but that the fighting against a foreign military will be over within weeks, which it was.

That's a ridiculous conclusion to reach. Those quotes were said when the American public did not want to invade Iraq. They were intended to allay concerns that the war would be long one. There was never any talk about a potential insurgency. When it was brought up by the media, it was ignored by the Bushies.

Read into them.......that was what people were intended to do.
