Outcome in Iraq

Anyone want to speculate about how the war in Iraq will end?

We have spent $549 Billion there so far and it is not close to ending. We are losing a battalion a month in killed and wounded. Progress on the ground is not apparent.

I am a dyed-in-the-wool republican, but I had reservations about going to war in Iraq. As time goes by, I get more pessimestic. The public is turning away (They always want an easy way out.) The republicans stand to lose control of both the house and senate due to the war.

My guess is that we will pull a Vietnam. We will train up some more Iraq troops and turn the whole mess over to them. Civil war will follow and then who knows?

On the bright side, those who serve there seem to have good spirits, but some have up to four tours.

Anyone willing to hazard a guess?

By the way, my som is a marine officer with 19 years of service and he doesn't ageee with me.

I'm sorry, Cowpuncher, I don't agree with you. However, I'll PM you why because the whole world can read this stuff.

You know, it is real interesting, I was listening to an interview of a guy who had put togehter a letters from the front/;etters from home book that was just released.. It was an inteesting interview and when you asked about support at home compared to say, WWII he said people have painted over what WWII was really like and that there are lots of letters from the field saying things like "Have people forgotten us overhear" and things like that. Workers striking and a lot of other stuff. It was interesting, wish I could have heard more but it was time to motor like it is now. My little general is demanding that we go pick up her chicks.

Pretty soon we will be able to go in an carpet bomb because all the good Iraqi civilians will be dead due to the Civil War...that we all know really doesn't exist. :shock: :???:

So, the only people left will be the insurgents that have now come into the country! It almost seems that the locals were safer under Saddam...yeah it was a crappy life but BUT people stood a better chance of seeing the sun come up the next day!!

It's like watching a slow motion car wreck!

But as Patrick Henry would say, "Give me liberty, or give me death."

If the Republicans remain in control we'll finally achieve our objective. If the Dems regain control we will pull out and the whole country will be overrun by Jihadists that will use oil revenue to commit terrorism on every freedom loving country in the world.
