six months? A year? A week?

What is the prediction?

1. Within the first year, given the facts that he has now.
However, with the current bunch of liars we have now in the White House, it is hard to tell what is really going on. I suspect this is true in many areas, not just Iraq. Over the next decade, we will learn so much more about all the corruption, it's going to make what we know now look like child's play.

I don't envy him and his administration their task. I get exhausted just thinking about it. http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/faint

2. 18 to 24 months.
Not as soon as I'd like, but better than 100 years.

3. 16 months from inauguration is my guess
based upon general background noise about it from all sides.

4. You worry about that now?
He wants to bring them home but send others to "police". What does that mean I have no idea.

6. Neshanic posted a great post about this months ago.
A fair post that called out both Hillary and Obama on this. I didn't see you in it.

5. What war?
Do you mean the occupation of Iraq?

I don't know.

"The war" (all wars) will end when we get money out of politics & decide to not be an empire anymore.

I know I'm vague on specifics. The Military-Industrial-Media Complex is big business & makes a few people a lot of money & more people a little money & screws the living sh_t out of the rest of us. There's your key right there.

There'd be sacrifices.

7. I trust that he will carry out the withdrawal as quickly as time permits.
I trust his discretion to get it done.
