Not according to our administration. According to Dick Cheney, there was a) never going to be an insurgency in the first place and b) the one that exists now is in it's "last throes".
"General Franks told them it was time to make plans to leave. Combat forces should be prepared to start pulling out within 60 days if all went as expected, he said. By September (2003), the more than 140,000 troops in Iraq could be down to little more than a division, about 30,000 troops."
The insurgency that Donald Rumsfeld dismissed as a pack of "dead enders" apparently now has Rumsfeld convinced we could be there for... what was it... 12 years??
Obviously, despite clear warnings of a "fundalmentalist insurgency that is backed by foreign dollars" from our own intelligence, neither you nor this administration had any idea whatsoever that such an insurgency would exist, let alone how long it will take to destroy it... if it can be destroyed at all.
