Bull chips. We were distinctly told that this war was going to go on for a long time. Do your homework before you go spouting off. Do you really consider osama to be a criminal element? If so, maybe you're better off at DU with the rest of the dummies.
Wrong bucko. Please give me a quote - - plus date and citation - - of any administration or US political leader who predicted, prior to the invasion of Iraq, that we would face a prolonged guerilla war in the country after we got to Bagdhad. The only ones who predicted it were some generals who said Rumsfeld needed to send in many more troops - and they were either told to shut up or they quit.
