As I stated in my last post Diana, I dont think the Americans have any intention of withdrawing.

I think there is a long term agenda at work here, but it looks doomed to failure unless we are prepared for full scale slaughter of the Iraqis (dont discount that).

When all the lies were being told and the ground work done to "sell" the war, no one in the American administration realised the strength of Iraqi nationalism. This conflict like Vietnam, will go on till the occupiers are forced to withdraw..Ake
