Default Will Bush withdraw the troops, if....

more soldiers are injured or captured or US can not capture Baghdad in a month? so far US soldiers have not fought or even met any republican guards, only the civilians and iraqi soldiers, but the numbers of soldiers injured and killed are already way more than expected. and Saddam Hussian said, he and iraqi ppl are ready to fight for 13 years more to save his country. so will Bush quit if he fails his goal or does he have plans A, B, C, and D?

how do you know the injuries and casualties are way more than expected?

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.

It was stubborness and a gigantic paranoia of communism. Vietnam actually could have been a communist country allied with us against the USSR if our heads weren't up our asses. On top of that, we put in a half assed war effort. What a waste of time and lives

what i couldnt believe is that the "average" war gets 1/4 of the casualties cuz of "friendly fire"......people accidentally (or in some cases like the grenade in a tent incident) or purposely killing their own......didn't know it was that much.....

Way more than expected? I don't think so. I believe that the expectation of a "short" war was touted by the media, based upon the results of Desert Storm. I never heard this adminstration say that this conflict would be over quickly. I happen to believe that we are in this for the long haul, at least until Saddam is removed and a transitional government is in place. How long will that be? Your guess is as good as mine.
