Ya know, those predictions have been remarkably prescient...back when Rumsfeld was saying weeks or months (but certainly not years!) I was saying 5-6 years before we moved out of the role of Iraq's occupiers. We're going on three so far, and the most radical plans I've heard being seriously considered call for us to be mostly out by the end of 2006, so my armchair prediction is, if a little over the mark, way the hell closer than the rightwingnuts who cheerled us into this mess.
