For America the war in Iraq is Over!

The war in Iraq for the United States is over. It has been over since 2004. Since 2004 it has been a civil war that are soldiers have been fighting in Iraq.

Our soldiers must come home and allow the Iraq people to fight it out on their own. Regardless of who wins control of the country.

The American people aren't buying that this is a war against terrorisum anymore. The fear mongering no longer means anything to the vast majority of American citzens. War is hell, but those that want to stay in hell, please be our guest.

A history of Cheney's rhetoric . . .

"I think we may well have some kind of presence there over a period of time," Cheney said. "The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."
– May 30, 2005, Larry King Live

"We will succeed in Iraq, just like we did in Afghanistan. We will stand up a new government under an Iraqi-drafted constitution. We will defeat that insurgency, and, in fact, it will be an enormous success story."
– June 25, 2005, CNN Interview

"My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators."

"There's overwhelming evidence there was a connection between al Qaeda and the Iraqi government. I am very confident that there was an established relationship there."
– January 22, 2004

"We believe Saddam has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
– March 16, 2003

"Saddam is actively pursuing nuclear weapons at this time."
- March 24, 2002

"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."

"When you think about what we've accomplished in terms of taking Afghanistan—we had a total of 30 killed in action in Afghanistan—taking down the Taliban and destroying the capacity of al-Qaeda to use Afghanistan as a base to attack the United States, launching an attack into Iraq, destroying the Iraqi armed forces, taking down the government of Iraq, getting rid of Saddam Hussein, capturing 42 out of the 55 top leaders, and beginning what I think has been fairly significant success in terms of putting Iraq back together again, the price that we've had to pay is not out of line, and certainly wouldn't lead me to suggest or think that the strategy is flawed or needs to be changed."
