I don't think he will....this is Bush's war unfortunately, his little own thing. I'm not against but then again I'm not for it. I do believe that there will be many more deaths to come when they do go into Baghdad and it turns into an urban warfare.
If they don't remove Saddam in a few months or a year his Administration is going to look extrememly bad to the nation. Basically if he doesn't deliver what he says, his possibility of re-election is out the window, as well as his approval.

the pentagon and the goverment has been saying that this will not be like Desert Storm. it's only the media that has been saying this will be a swift war, etc.

The only reason the casualties are being made out to be so high and outrageous is because the media got ahead of itself and began to think that because we were moving swiftly through the desert w/little to no resistance that the rest of the war would go just as easy. Total bodycount is what, 39 confirmed? I'd say that's not a rediculous number considering we've been at war since last wednesday and the next day we sent in ground troops. That number is for the coalition, including the grenade attack by our soldier, the car accident deaths of two soldiers and the helicopter crash that killed 12 all by itself.

more then expected by the media? when does the media decide on the troop movements and which targets to take out? this is not a war controlled by the media.
none of the media agency even know the truth. i doubt there are very many people that does.
lots and lots of fail

If this war ends in 3 weeks it will be an INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT for our army. To defeat a standing army in foreign lands that quickly is astounding. You'll still have the idiots who say "it took that long?" though
