[I]n 2003, I spoke with a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee who had visited U.S. troops in Iraq. I was stunned when the senator predicted that the United States would be in Iraq for 30 years.
I assumed I had misheard him and asked, “Do you mean three years?”
“Thirty years,” the senator repeated. “It will take a generation.”
