How long will the 'war' last, & how many will be slaughtered?

[mopaul]

i've heard big men in expensive suits say that this phony war could go on for DECADES. we get squeamish about 1100 dead g.i.'s, and we ignore the 20,000 or so other souls lost, i just wonder, after the last dog dies and the last bullet flies, how many will have died, on all sides, for this obscenity?

if we are still at 'war' in two years, will that be long enough? or will it take 5 or 6 years to finish the 'job'? when we reach the 5 or 10 thousand soldiers mark, how will our resolve be holding up?

will our own sons and daughters engage in the 'fight'? will they die too before this is all 'resolved'? what will the final death tally be, before the whole atrocity is declared a glorious victory?

i suspect that the neocons who penned the project for a new american century plan on killing EVERYONE who isn't in israel, and i also suspect that no amount of dead or crippled soldiers, volunteer or draftee, will be enough to sacrifice for their nazi agenda.

big men in expensive suits laugh, eat the best foods, hobnob with dignitaries and kings, in marble halls, and order my son or your daughter to engage in the damnable slaughter of innocents in a faraway land called hell on earth.....for MONEY.....

how long will this shit go on, and how many will ultimately die?

1. Hate to admit it but

as much as I despised the Bush team going to Iraq, I think if I were President I'd have to keep troops in there just to TRY to get something liveable out of that mess. Cutting and running will no doubt cause untold disaster to happen in Iraq and have repercussions through-out the region. I hope Kerry can get the UN or build a better coalition to try and sort out what will be inevitably a civil war bloodbath between Iraqi religious/ethnic factions.

I, like Kerry says, would run things alot differently there than Bush/Rumsfeld/Cheney...but like Powell said too "You break it you fix it".
Wolfowitz and his neo-con/zionist pals should be strung up by the ankles for stirring up this hornet's nest. Hopefully Kerry can convince the Insurgents that he's not after oil and empire, or on a crusade and can get some semblance of trust enough to get them to the table.

It's a shit-hole mess for certain. Way to go Dubya

2. Yeah we're there for some time

Thanks to * we really busted up that country good. Unfortunetly it is our responsibility now to build it back to something livable and stable IMHO. What we should do is take Halliburtons money, *'s money, Dick, Rumsfields, all of their assets...and give it back to America to try and make a teeny tiny scratch in the billions they have wasted.

But yeah, I see us being in Iraq for a couple more years at least and it will just get bloodier and bloodier.

God have mercy on all their souls when their times come for the deaths they all are responsible for.

4. There is the bad part, we are "responsible". This is our government.

They are acting in "our" name. Stand up and be counted, now as never before.
