Re: "I think the Cheney plan is to bring the troops home after 6 weeks..." >>> Current Pentagon thinking is a war of 'up to 6 months' duration... and a 'nation building' occupation (fending off pot shots at our troops from disgruntled locals and terrorists enfevered by Palestinian/Israeli problems and the mere presence of US troops in the Arab oil fields) for maybe 6 years or so. >>> And, of course, we would have to defend the Suniis from the Shia, the integrity of the 'nation' of Iraq from Iran, the Kurds from the Turks (who already want to occupy Kurdish lands in the first invasion wave), and EVERYONE from the Tribals and revenge killings, and from terrorists on the make from everywhere. >>> The war may not be such a problem... but the peace is gonna be a bitch, kinda like Lebanon times ten.
