Status: offline 		I hope they are home soon.  What blows my mind is, 5 years ago I asked a friends hubby who is a colonel and was stationed over there at the time, when he thought they were coming home.  He said all exit plans were being made for 2011.  I remember thinking then, no way can it take that long.

Damn, time flies doesn't it?

I hope you are wrong there.  I am sure you do also though.

Status: offline 		Hurray! One less money draining, soul destroying war. I wonder how long it will take for yet another military dictatorship to take over Iraq, and whether it will be secular or religious. But I don't care, too many Americans have died for nothing.
