The bombings in Iraq go on and on, but the United States’ resolve to go the distance remains unwavering, the President tells us. But is it reasonable to assume that the White House will keep the troops in Iraq through the end of Bush’s term, which ends in January 2008? If so, will the U.S. military stay in Iraq on through the next administration? Or is there a chance that America will conclude that its presence should end sooner rather than later?
