Gee, Fred, it almost sounds like you regret supporting the war ;-)

Yes, it does, doesn't it? Do you think we will get a mea culpa soon? :-)

Consider that we took over Iraq amid a litany of sins - no international support, deep distrust of our motives, no plan for replacing the government that we were chasing out, and only soldiers to do "policing".

Those were the incompetencies. The real sins, imho, were the lies, arrogant destruction of pretty much all that stands for international law and order, etc.

If Iraq were a beaten down stock then I'd be taking a risk position right about now!

... which is hopefully why UN will eventually put a hand under the stone.
