"General Garner said that both he and Jerry Bremer had made errors."

There is a big difference in making an error in judgement and having a nefarious reason for doing things.

Obviously the deal with disbanding the army was an unanticipated consequence of acting to insure that a cohesive force was not in place that could mount an organized insurrection.

We can all look back at mistakes we made in hindsight and realize we could have made a different decision and things would have turned out much differently. (I only have to review my trades or lack thereof in 2000 and 2001 to know that I would be much better off if I had acted differently then.)

I just believe there is too much carping over how and why decisions were made and actions taken. It is unhelpful and in some cases it gives aid and comfort to the enemy and may embolden their actions against us.

I happen to like and support the President. It does not mean that he is flawless, but I believe that he and his team are acting prudently given the information they had at the time.
