Who believed that we'd be in and out of Iraq when we're still in Bosnia 10 years later?

"SAVANNAH, Ga. - The Army said Monday it has extended the deployment of thousands of 3rd Infantry Division soldiers in Iraq due to increased attacks against coalition forces, dashing hopes that the troops would be home by September."
"The units have been ordered to stay "due to the uncertainty of the situation in Iraq and the recent increase in attacks on the coalition forces," Blount said in an e-mail message to Army spouses.
Blount said in the e-mail, obtained by The Associated Press, that he could not say how long the soldiers would remain in Iraq. "I wish I could tell you how long ... but everything I have told you before has changed," he said."
