Oh yes...the insurgency is winning....LOL....that is why you are more likely to die of gunfire in Washington DC than you are if you were an american soldier in Iraq (from another thread here). The only thing beating the American military is the negative press. Now politically, yes....losing bit time and I think we will pull out in more than one year...less than two, but we will always have a presence in some shape or form. I may be wrong but that is typically what has happened in the past. The reason I say more than one year, less than two is this. We may make the decision to pull out in a year, but it won't happen that fast. It will be gradual, one step at a time and it won't happen over night. It will take time and it may be a long process.sergeriver wrote:

Is he actually trying to say it's more dangerous walking round Washington DC than it is walking around Iraq? Mmmmm!Mason4Assassin444 wrote:

Typically you mean like after Vietnam the US kept a contingent of troops there to oversee matters? This ain't WWII. Those insurgents are going to continue fighting the US there forever and ever and ever. The US public now realises that there is no benefit in terms of 'homeland security' in being there - Iraq is a political liability now: US politicians are abandoning it like it's the plague, Democrats and Republicans.DeathBecomesYu wrote:

And I hate to say I told you so but I predicted that this would happen. Operation 'Iraqi Freedom' - lol!

how do people see the insurgency winning?
You should make stand-up comedy. Do you read the news or watch any Tv? Do 500 civilians die every week in DC coz of violence?DeathBecomesYu wrote:

Are you calling the Brits and Canadians poodles? Not very nice of you.
They took a new breed there, not poodles in fact. It's a two breed crossing between Pitbull and Shih Tzu, the Bullshit.

Your asking the wrong crowd. Ask the retarded, inept, misguided and poorly informed insurgence when they plan to settle down then you'll get your answer.

It will depend entirely on who is elected President. A lot of these people are running on the "I'm getting us the hell out of there" platform. So, in 3 1/2 years when they're trying like all hell to get re-elected (because those with power want NOTHING more than to keep it), they'll start pulling out.
If a Republican wins we might be there forever.

I don't care how well prepared the next president may be. It will take a good amount of time for him (or her) to completely withdraw from Iraq and expect peace and stability to result.
