Of course it has severe security problems. I never said otherwise, despite your attempt to put words in my mouth. I never said things were simply going well. I said that there were good things as well as bad, and that one should not just dwell on the car bombs, but should notice areas of progress as well. I have said that it is it would take some time to fully secure the situation, but that I thought order would prevail eventually, and that the situation of the Iraqi people would improve.
One of the differences between us is that I considered it inevitable that some of this would occur, and already factored it into my thinking about the long term prospects of Iraq. I am not shocked that there are terrorist acts, even now, and although things have been rougher than I had hoped, they have been better than I had feared. Thus, I do not consider the current situation a failure, nor a scandal, but something that must be gotten through for the sake of Iraq's future.......
