Oil and Blood

As usual, Bob Herbert gets it exactly right. No clearer explanation could come closer to the truth.
Oil and Blood - New York Times: "Many high-level government figures believe that U.S. troops will be in Iraq for a minimum of 5 more years, and perhaps 10.
That should be understood by the people who think that the formation of a permanent Iraqi government will lead to the withdrawal of American troops. There is no real withdrawal plan. The fighting and the dying will continue indefinitely. "
