RE: "How surprising is it that US administration had little idea on what they would have in their hands after the fall of Saddam, especially re Shiites?" George HW Bush did not go after Saddam in the first Gulf War because of fears of Shiite/Iranian influence in the area. I find it hard to believe that the administration had "little idea." I think is is easier to say "little idea" than "we knew what we would be facing and we are prepared to confront it with whatever force is necessary, ie we are prepared to be more ruthless than previous administrations were."
