WASHINGTON - Five years after launching the invasion of Iraq, President George W. Bush strongly signaled Wednesday that he will not order U.S. troop withdrawals beyond those already planned because he refuses to "jeopardize the hard-fought gains" of the past year.

As anti-war activists demonstrated around downtown Washington and in other parts of the country, the president spoke at the Defense Department to mark the war anniversary. He gave a strong defense of his decision to go to war and continue it and linked the fighting there to the global battle against al-Qaida.

What a waste of our money.

As someone who never have believed we should be there to begin with, I find it difficult to believe there is such a think as success over there :rolleyes:
