Hi Neocon; Re: "So far, my post holds up pretty well. The opposition collapsed very rapidly, as foreseen. ..." The opposition is alive and well. The general opinion of the American people now is that starting the war was a mistake. Time has not been favorable to your positions. As I wrote over a year ago: Okay, now you've "crushed" the regime in Baghdad and what do you have? That's right, another "protracted and indecisive war". -- Carl P.S. What with oil in the mid $40s per barrel, I should remind you what "prescient" means: Bilow, October 14, 2002 The neocons are talking about using Iraqi oil to pay for a war against Iraq. Given the ease with which guerilla warfare disrupts oil production, getting Iraq to pay for its own occupation would be as impossible as occupying the Rhineland to get Germany to pay reparations after WW1. #reply-18109399
