But Bush should have made it clear that once we moved in, we would occupy Iraq for at least 20 years.

If we didn’t have the will to do it, we never should have gone in.

You can't make prognostications like this before the war starts.

But good people had the will to do it. It was the rabidly anti war left that did not.
