Bush tells Reuters we will be in Iraq 10 years

[Erika]

McCain says 50 to 100 years. Why don't we just add it as a state?


Remember when good old Rummy said we would be in and out of there in 6 months and the Iraqis would love us forever?

300 mil a day is the cost. But the GOP says there is no money to increase Schips and programs to help our own?

"Broken promises have brought a dramatic increase in anti-U.S. sentiment across the capital city of Iraq’s Diyala province but failed reconstruction projects and muddled policies mean the U.S. has lost that support. The U.S. has also alienated people through its policy of extensive detentions. Most people see no reasonable basis for many of the arrests. The International Committee of the Red Cross said that around 60,000 people are currently detained in Iraq.
'The Americans occupied our country and put our men in prisons,” Dhafir al-Rubaiee, an officer from Iraq’s previous army told IPS. “The majority of these prisoners have been arrested for nothing other than for being Sunni. Every one of these prisoners has a family, and these families now have reason to hate Americans.'

Others blame the lack of security and the destroyed infrastructure for the increasing anti-U.S. sentiment."
