While making the stipulations that we should remain in force as long as is necessary, it's plain that necessity will abate well within the year in question. Also the argument that our presence is provocative to the jihadis and their friends, while failing to negate the imperative of removing Saddam, is much more salient with an Iraqi sovereignty in place. That the troops on the ground would give a year as a general timeframe isn't inappropriate or and indictment of the war at all.

So "85 percent believe a major reason they were sent into war was to retaliate for Saddam’s role in the Sept. 11 attacks.” That, among other things in the article, is very interesting. It's too bad our men and women are dying over there, and most of them don't even know why. Thanks for the link to the article in Stars and Stripes.
