The war will last as long as Bush and Bush family friends think they can turn an acceptable profit from it.
The U.S. has no objective in Iraq. The U. S. is NOT fighting in Iraq. The U. S. is just paying for the war, and U.S. citizens are just being slaughtered in Iraq.
This is Bush family "business as usual," and the objective, as always, is to make as much money as it is humanly possible to make off of the pain, suffering and death of others.
