So now that the Iraq war is "officially over" what do you guys think will happen next for them? Think we'll eventually go into Iran? America has to be involved in something somewhere, so I forsee another war somewhere.

Why do you think Kim Mentally Ill just got killed by the CIA died from too much work for the People of North Korea? The son is scheduled to break the armistice (in a more serious way than his father did) in 3...2...



The whole planet is constantly on the brink of war. If not for interlocked global economies, we'd be raining death on a half-dozen countries already. Don't sweat it!

Even this morning hearing it on the news again, I'm still wondering what happened to make it suddenly the end of the war? Did we drop a nuke and they came pleading on their knees to stop? Did we wipe out their entire fighting force? Did they come to sign a treaty at Appomattox? DID THEY COME TO US AND SURRENDER TO US??? NO!!!!! We simply declared we're ending our own war on them! THAT'S CONSIDERED A LOSE!!! What's driving this sudden end, or giving up, is simply a political campaign stunt. It's nearing voting time and for Obama to have a hint of something positive on his record, he's trying to credit himself with the end of the Iraq war. How absurd. If anything, he should be hanging his head in shame that there was nothing positive that he could do over there and now he's giving up on a war he didn't know how to win. Calling it a victory is ridiculous if the enemy hasn't given up. If anything, this will empower them, and will likely increase the violence seen coming out of there.

That's about as good as Japan triumphantly declaring the end of WWII on board the USS Missouri! THEY LOST!!

Duh? If you don't have any defined goals, you can declare an end any old time!
