This war has been planned by Dick Cheney for the last 15 or so years. It's all about oil and dollar hegemony in the region. We will never leave Iraq. For anyone to think otherwise is naive and ignorant. Iraq will turn into Germany and South Korea but ten times worse. It's in a part of the world a hundred times more violent with people a hundred times more willing to die for their cause.
It's the Puppeteers aka (LOBBYISTS, CORPORATIONS, WEALTH, etc) that pull his strings one way or another.
DO you really think AIPAC wants the U.S. to leave IRAQ now, even though the puppet government and IRAQI's themselves want us out?
Look at South Korea, Germany, and Japan... It's NOT going to HAPPEN, until the collapse of the US Roman Empire. Hell the DOD is spending like $2 BILLION, alone, on Ramstein A.B., Kaiserslaughten, Germany, on upgrades/expansion... think we're downsizing? We're expanding our NWO Empire.
