The only reason to persist is to steal Iraq's oil. That won't happen. There are too many people on the planet now who can afford $1 for a stick of dynamite and have access to a camel to blow up a pipeline, putting it out of commission for a couple of weeks, costing millions to repair.
There has been not DROP of oil come out of Iraq via the northern pipeline since the war started.
The Iraqis can do this forever. Their only other choice is to surrender to American genocide without a fight.
The Americans will eventually get tired of the bills and body bags, same as Viet Nam. There in nothing in it for America but a vain hope of rescuing national pride. The longer they persist, the more shamed and humiliated they are at being held at bay by a country 1/12 their size.
Every day the war continues emboldens America's enemies knowing how an a disarmed, broke country could successfully fight off the biggest military on earth. You have even little Iran threatening a fatwah on America.
Bush crime family lost/embezzled $3 trillion from Pentagon. Complicit Bush-friendly media keeps mum. Rumsfeld confesses on video.
