" My problem is I think even mildly competent planning pre-invasion and we would have had ZERO insurgency."

Maybe not zero, but there is a historical precedent for it. All of those who said we needed a much higher force level than what the administration wanted cited security concerns in the aftermath as the reason. They were minimized and, in one case, hounded from office. So here we are in year 3 and you know what? It looks as if they were right. And we can't even say that no one knew this would happen, because we were warned. And warned by people who should know.
