We stay as long as we need to. The U.S. now has a firm foothold in a real mid east country to establish a forward base.
You chicken littles need to grow a set.
A foothold to establish a forward base? Yeah, because we have none in the middle east. Oh wait, pre-OIF war we had 6. I don't know how much more middle east you need. And define 'as long as we do'. There is no definition. That's the problem with 'you' chicken shits (just paraphrasing you). You have no idea what will accomplish the mission (again).
