because they cannot leave as the job is not done (and never will be). they dont know how to fight a war in a muslim country in the middle of the dessert surrounded by crazy suicide bombers. and OIL yes OIL always OIL. oooh and because george w. had to make it up to his father back from the Gulf War in 1991.
this war is going to go down as the biggest mistake in history. and i pity all those poor men and women in the army losing their lives over something so trivial as all of the above. i mean think of it the BILLIONS spent on a pointless war. imagine how many americans that could have helped in their own country. i dont know why more americans dont protest. but then George stole the first election and somehow won the second. you get what you vote for i suppose.
