By the way, the shooting hasn't stopped, yet and they may still have something up their sleeve in terms of retribution on the population and the coalition soldiers...
5-10 yrs? Come on man. Canada could be our enemy in 5-10 for all we know. The way Bush and Rumsfeld put it Iraq was an immediate threat and they must be disarmed NOW! But then they changed it to operation Iraqi Freedom. LOL what a farse. Looks like all the gas masks and anti chem/bio agents were put to good use. Dogding those WMDs were pretty tricky for our boys while they were risking their lives securing those oil fields prior to looking for any terrible wmds.
Now that we've spent at least $75 billion! liberating Iraq you best believe not only the US gov is going to get back there money plus some in those secured Iraqi oil fields, but so will all the private contractors the US is going to use to help rebuild Iraq. The same thing that's going to happen in Afghanistan. Oh yeah and they're in love with us right now...NOT. And of course they love the interim gov we put in place for them, they're just playing around with the assasination attempts on their appointed President...they really like him. And yeah, of course oil was only a small reason for going to war in the middle east we were just securing those oil fields first to make sure the Iraqi people can profit from their own wealth. Reallly though, if you think the the value of the Iraqi oil to the US gov/corporations were not a MAJOR objective to the war on terrorism...I mean operation iraqi freedom despite the other objectives you're in denial. You could have followed that in any unbiased reporting.

And all the propagandist displays of the shiites (who hate the sunnis) marching in streets celebrating their new found liberation is a nice touch.
I'm taking wagers on whose next. Iran or Syria. $5 bucks says Syran.
