How many more years will the U.S. Occupation last?
My guess is around four, unless the Iraqis unite (Shi'ites, Sunnis and Kurds) drive the U.S. out.

2. Eighteen months
The next Congressional election will see the troops being pulled out, for some face saving reason. The Bush power at home is much more important to the family than any of the neocons and their visions for world domination.

5. When the rest of the world comes to take george away
I hope no one stands in their way.
Let them take him and put him in a cage as he has done to Saddam. Let them try him for war crimes and lock him up for life.
Don't forget the rest of the bunch also:
Dick Cheney
Donald Rummsfeld
Condi Rice
Paul Wolfowitz
KKKarl Rove
Add others as you see necessary

7. Do you mean the occupation OF the U.S. by the cabal? Or the cabal's
occupation of Iraq? :shrug:
Probably about the same amount of time for both.

10. My guess is it won't even last 2....
But the whole region will be attempting to kill eachother throwing the different forces into a full-scale holocaust. This damage won't be able to be repaired for over 10 fucking years, I am amazed.

And whatever disaster that happened in Lebanon is a joke compared to what we've gotten into, what happened to our so called "UN" related guidelines and peacekeeping translators? :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

11. We'll begin pulling out some time before 2008.
Most likely Bush will still have several thousand troops there by the time he leaves office. A trap for the next Democratic President just like his old man left Clinton in Somalia.
