When will our troops come home from Iraq?

Question

I voted for GWB twice and a strong supporter of his policies. When I voted for him I was in the impression that this was not going to take a long time and that the mission was accomplished. Now we are 5 + years in this thingy.

I understand that we were attacked on 9/11 and it is justifiable but seems its taking longer than normal I guess.

God Bless America

Answer 1

I think US troops will be home in the next few year from what i have heard , they will have to see how it goes in iraq , British troops will most likely be picking up the pieces ,- that's the way it looks anyway , but Iraq must be fairly  stable first

Troops levels have been dropping since January.  The last should be pulled out by 2011.

Answer 10

Longer than normal?

Just what is the norm for bloodshed and war in the middle east anyway?

last I checked it has been going on for centuries, and now we are right in the middle.

Supporting it, then crying about it taking too long, is like jamming a stick into a beehive, and standing there crying about getting stung.

Answer 11

As long as the US is dependent on foreign oil, there will be American boots on the ground at the jugular vein of the WORLD's economy no matter who the president is.  As usual, the world benefits from the deployment of American troops but, it remains fashionable to complain about it so, complain they will, regardless of the reality.
