Level up: 18%, 85 Points needed | | Here is the quote I was looking for, but I was wrong. it was not a soldier or military man who said it. It was Newt Gingrich who said we would be in Iraq for decades and decades. do you just love how he laughs at the idea?? Newt Gingrich - Winning the Future

It was Newt Gingrich who said we would be in Iraq for decades and decades. do you just love how he laughs at the idea?? Newt Gingrich - Winning the Future | Newt Gingrich Fox News December 15 2005:
"I believe, by the summer of `06, there will be a lot fewer American casualties. By some time in `07, we will be basically out of policing the cities totally. We will be there as a reserve force."
Thanks for coming Newt
