As long as the new SOD makes some big changes in Iraq policy. The cut and run crowd will never be satisfied until we totally leave. But I think most people want some type of change instead of "stay the course and do exactly what hasn't worked for the last 4 years."

As of 3/16/06 one can only guess,but I think it will never happen , number one. those people over there have been fighting with each other for years and have no idea how to get along with each other. Number 2. Things over there is not getting any better and civil war is knocking at the back door.Our young men and women are fighting a lost battle ,if by the Grace of God we do get out of there within the next 10 years they we be right back where they were when we invaded. And as far as the Administration, I think we should send a few of them over there or perhaps their family members.And to the young writers who thing the war is over...perhaps you would like to talk to some of the honest hard working young men and women over there...I know because I have a nephew ,brother and friends over there fighting everyday. Along with that, I have a son who got back last year from being blowed up, so why didn't anyone tell him the war was over!!!! Wake up people, if you think it's over I heard that the military is in need of men and women to pick daisy in Iraq.

It will end at the beginning of 2009 because Bush said that he would not pull out during his presidency.  The next president, whoever it is, will immediately pull the troops out in the exact same way as we pulled out of Vietnam.  Back then it was called Vietnamization and it was the slow pullout of all of our troops followed by the Vietnam falling to Communist control.  \n\nIraq will follow the same path.  We'll leave, claim victory (again) and then the government will collapse causing a whole nation-state that is a breeding ground for terrorist organization and an excuse for the rest of the Middle East to be angry with us for a very long time.\n\nThis war wall unfortunately be one of the largest mistakes of our history and Bush will easily go down as one of the worst presidents we've ever had.\n\nYou cannot escape history and if you ignore it you will be doomed to repeat it.  Bush is still my president, but he is not a good president.  I can only hope that time between now and 2008 goes quickly.

When the last Iraqi is dead.  Or when only one ethnic/religious faction is left in Iraq.  These people have turned from fighting us to fighting each other.  A Civil war is going to blow up anyday and our boys are going to be stuck in the middle of it.\n\nNo one anywhere in the Middle East can agree on anything.  There are about 200 different factions, mostly differing viewpoints of Islam.

eventually, yes. no empire lasts forever. it will hafta be a silent takeover (nonviolent). starts with control of politics reverting to the republic we were supposed to be but never were. next is the economy, basing it on goods rather than variables.\nhttp://www.philipdru.com/griffin2_stream.html

Yes, and it's actually quite simple. Give the Iraqi government a SPECIFIC deadline to withdraw coalition troops and stick to it. They are not holding up their end of the deal. They think if they continue to appear weak and in distress that we will stay inevitably, and we seem to be falling into that trap. Our administration needs to get a clue that they are really being played by these people. How's April 1st. No Foolin'.

maybe "earth final conflict"

Have you heard of the Yom Kippur war in 1973, Israel vs a coalition of Arab nations....Egypt, Syria and Jordan. That was worse than the current situation.....it didn't raise a blip on the world war scenario (not that it didn't have the potention as a spark)...just relegated to the heap of regional conflicts between rump states. When the strategic super powers square off into two camps, then come back and we'll talk world war. \n\nUntil then, just think regional conflicts, proxy wars, sabre rattling and brinksmanship.... After the next world war, we'll be back into the stone age and you won't have to worry whether a world war occurred or not.  \n\nYour first inkling that it has started is when your video game and tv go off from that initial EMP blast.

I don't know anything about the Bible code 1 or 2, unless you're talking about the Da Vinci Code thing, which is fiction.  WW3 will begin in the Euphrates River, which is in Iraq where a lot of American troops are. Also, the Euphrates River will be dried up to prepare the way for the east to invade Israel.January 13,1990, the Indianapolis Star has an article about Turkey cutting off the flow of the Euphrates for one month. A concrete plug for a diversion channel was built, so Turkey now has the ability to dry up the Euphrates whenever they choose. This is a 1,900 year old prophecy that has only recently been able to be fulfilled.\n   Also a 200 million man army will launch a war that will kill one third of mankind. Only 3 nations now have the ability to raise that kind of manpower, it is likely to be China. Mao Tse Tung boasted in his diary that he could raise an army of 200 million.\n    There will be a worldwide numbering system, it looks like in America it's going to start out with the real i.d. act. We won't be able to buy or sell unless we are a part of it. (the worldwide numbering system)\n     We are going to have one world government ( the United Nations?).\n     We will also have so much turmoil over all the religions not getting along that the one world gov. will decide that we need to agree that all religions will need to tolerate others, so they will come up with a religious authority figure that says we all need to forget or give up what we believe and go with what he says we should believe.\n     Also, read Matthew 24, King James Version\n     There's more, but I'm afraid you're going to think I talk too much!

As soon as US and Allies move out, the country will enter a full scale civil war. not only ill the Muslims be slaughtering each other like there is no tommorrow, The kurds in the north along with all the civilians who moved into the area will be ethicaly cleansed. \n\nFor US to move out would be totaly irresponsible. There is a good saying 'don;t start what you can't finish'. \n\nTo answer original question, fighting will only stop between factions when Iraqi governament and Army are powerful enough to keep order. Efforts must be intensified to requit and train impartial Iraqi military force.

till there is no more oil in iraq

Watch or listen to CSPAN now. There is a hearing on that. The General just said We need more troops, another said, We need an exit strategy. \nIn one month the Baker meet will be over and then and only then will we will know anything. \nMy opinion is that there should be 3, one Sunni, one Shiite and one Kurd. Each with their own accepted borders, and all sharing equally in any oil revenues from all 3 Countries or States. \nThe Shia and Sunni are never going to get along, and the Kurds just add an extra element of dispute. So give them all 3 equally shares of land, in relation to their original lands and with some acknowledgment as to Census Status, i.e. 3million Shia, 3million acre, 2 million Sunnis 2 million acres, 1million Kurds, 1 million acre. Or something like that. Seems fair, they all get Oil Revenues equally, and no one is or can take anothers land.

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, there is going to be some sort of permanent presence of the US military in Iraq basically forever. We retain soldiers in Japan, in Italy, in Germany, in the Indian Ocean, on the Arabian peninsula, in Thailand, etc. The Middle East is going to continue to be of strategic importance to both the US and our European allies, even if we continue to have slap fights with them like we are now.\n\nThe only question is, will the US military stay in a combat mode in Iraq? I believe that, eventually, the military and political process in Iraq will be successful, and the combat position of our military will be greatly reduced. The idea that the American military presence in Iraq will ever be reduced to zero is unnecessarily misleading, and will only lead to further recriminations both with the Iraq people and with the US population.

I agree that the killing is going to escalate, not stop. Radical Islam has a hell of a lot more people than we do (never learned that from Nam I guessed) and they can wait forever. Also, now they have a martyr, not that he didn't deserve to be killed!\n\nQuite frankly, I am getting a distinct message that the President of Iraq does not like a lot of our behaviour and is trying to throw us out. Don't be surprised when there is no democracy in Iraq, and they become more militant than the ones we threw out. They have a big reason to hate us now!!\n\n"The more our Iraqi security forces, our police, our army, the more they grow in number, in training and are ready and able to perform and to protect our people, then the less we need of the multinational forces," al-Rubaie told CNN's "Late Edition."\n\nHe wants us out! Read between the lines if you are able!\n\nPlease quit with the FREEDOM BS!! We are there for OIL, not freedom!! Saddam WAS NEVER a threat to our freedom, I don't care what kind of spin you use!!! Freedom is the rights rationalization to get oil for the oil companies who pay next to nothing in taxes.\n\nCrude has gone down. Haven't seen any lowering of gas prices. Bunch of low life gougers!

All extremists???? Definitely no. JIHAD is a "Holy War" they had launched. It won't stop. It's too inappropriate to say, but it is the same thing as "Hatred". It may even go on for generation. . . The only means to stop this is for the whole Islamic Community all over the world of moderate ideas to unite and SEND A STRONG MESSAGE and convince their extremists brothers that US has genuine intentions for the good of people in Iraq. They will listen to them because they have high regards to their elders. They will never listen to the others and to the bullets, rockets, missiles, etc.. (you name it). These extremists are very much willing to die for their belief.
