>>Just so it's clear, I'm not saying it was right to go in. But we're there now and need to stay as long as it takes to clean up the mess....provided Iraq makes progress to be self sustaining.

>Why? That means the war is taking longer than some reality TV shows - and that is far too long for a lot of people to remember why we went, and since it isn't fashionable for some news agencies to mention history or consequences, those people listen to movie stars and comedians who outline what our military strategy and foreign policy should really be.

You may choose to compare it to TV show, other would compare it the length of time the admistration said it would take in 2003, in 2004, in 2005, and in 2006.

Oh those silly people they don't even remember all the lies that lead us to go in about the WMDs and nuclear weapons being handed over Osama or the lies about how quick, cheap, and easy it would be, how it would transform the middle east into the stable democratic place.
