That's all well and good, really, but the war ended with the surrender of the last remnants of the Iraqi military and the capture, and eventual execution, of Saddam Hussein. So why are our soldiers still there? What's happening in Iraq now, and has been for years, is guerilla fighting and police work. Sure, the Iraqi police and army needed to be properly trained. That cannot be done in Iraq! They should have been brought over here, piecemeal, and trained, then sent back home to train more. The American soldiers are now standing in the middle of a virtual civil war, a war which they cannot possibly win without obliterating a large portion of the population.

No, the only reason we are still there is because of the oil. If there were no oil in Iraq it's doubtful we would ever have invaded, and once we had it's doubtful we would have remained there once the Iraqi military was destroyed.
