War in Iraq: How long will it last?

Do you ever wonder when the war will be over? I know that I wonder about it, as well as others. We have been at war for a long time, the exact date no one can remember. Since the twin towers fell on that tragic day we have kept our country guarded and sent troops to Iraq to do this for us. Families, friends, and neighbors of these soldiers sit and wonder everyday just how long the war will be. We have now gotten an answer from our new president, President Obama. He states that he plans on pulling the troops out of Iraq by the end of the year 2010. Will this be able to be accomplished? Will we be able to pull our troops without leaving pain and anger in Iraq? These things we will not know until the day it happens.

Yes, we all want the war to end, whether you support it or not. We wait for the day to come where our families and friends can come home and we can make up all the lost time with them. We worry every day that something bad might happen to our loved ones, and then we as ourselves: How long will it last? When can they come home? Whether you support the war or not please pray and hope that this ends safely and our troops can come home to be with us again.

Do you think we will have the troops home by the end of 2010?

  1. I do, and yet again i dont.
    i personally do not like Obama, but i do believe that he is going to do something about the war.
    and i hope he does because i find the war pointless. i just look at it as, why would you fight for freedom, it just doesnt make sense to me. but i do hope that the war ends soon so people can be with their familys again.
