Iraqi War five years later: 2008 end of the ocupation?

Five years ago, as you now, the US began bombing Baghdad. The invasion was on. Six weeks later, President Bush stood under a banner reading “Mission Accomplished” and declared an end to major military combat operations in Iraq. Now, half a decade later, the war continues with no end in sight, even worst, Iraqi people are suffering more violence now than five years ago.
In a next speech, I'm sure the President will again give an upbeat assessment of the war.
So, right now the situation of Iraq is getting worse and worse, the war has been an unmitigated disaster. Up to one million Iraqis have been killed. Up to 2.5 million people are estimated to be displaced inside Iraq, and more than two million have moved to neighboring countries. Meanwhile, nearly 4,000 US soldiers have been killed and tens of thousands more wounded.
Overall the Iraqi war brings all types of problems for the Iraqis as well as for the American soldiers, such of death, injury, poverty, ....
Anyway, now in the States, people are starting to realize that the Iraqi War was a mistake, and also they are realizing Iraq occupation has to end right the way. Why does it look like it might be the year of the end of Iraq War? Because citiciens have listened to the trickery, and the lies, and the false promises of the white house for too long, and they're fed up. And in 2008, it seems to be the year, because what can the republicans use now to fool americans?, nuthin, americans see all through now. They have been ralling this past months, some of the most powerful voices against the war have been the men and women who have fought in it, few of them are even Republicans, That's means that Iraqi war has become the main enemy, whether you are Repulican, Democrat, whether you are cristian, atheius, Iraqi war is consider wrong, so , I'm almost sure that 2008 will be year when the Iraqi occupation must end.
