Army: 4 More Yrs in Iraq & We'll Stay the Course

The Army is planning to keep well over 100,000 troops ready for deployment to Iraq for the next 4 yrs. The size of the US force may be scaled back next yr if certain conditions are achieved: an Iraqi constitution must be drafted in coming days; it must be approved in a nat'l referendum; and elections must be held for a new govt under that charter. That is alot to be "fixed" before we can even think of getting the hell outta there, assuming of course that any of these Iraqi issues can even occur amidst the rising ethnic /religious "civil war" that is brewing, insurgent attacks that are more sophisticated than ever, and that some dumbass warmonger Neo-Con doesn't launch us into war w/Iran. What is Bush doing? Going on a 5 day "tour" to defend the war and the many costs of this war. Good luck w/that. But I'm sure he will just whip out the tired and old "it is better to fight 'em there than here" crap that is completely unfounded (can we say London bombings?) and he will of course whore out the victims of 9/11 YET AGAIN. Of course, he offers no plans on how to do this (other than stay the course!), but he'll say it anyway: "We must finish the task that our troops have given their lives for and honor their sacrifice by completing their mission." What is that mission, exactly? It has changed so many times since the days of those mythical mushroom clouds & WMDs in 02/03.
