"Show me the post that says that Saddam's regime will be decimated within months, but the remaining parties will be unable to live together peacefully."

Here you go Elroy:

Representative Ike Skelton, September 2002: “I have no doubt that our military would decisively defeat Iraq’s forces and remove Saddam. But like the proverbial dog chasing the car down the road, we must consider what we would do after we caught it.”

Howard Dean, then a candidate for president and now the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, February 2003: “I firmly believe that the president is focusing our diplomats, our military, our intelligence agencies, and even our people on the wrong war, at the wrong time. ... Iraq is a divided country, with Sunni, Shia and Kurdish factions that share both bitter rivalries and access to large quantities of arms.”

..and many of us right on these threads, who'd already BEEN through Vietnam, and thought we'd LEARNED this lesson already.
