Al-Qaeda has always been thought to be the principle threat and I'm sure they intended themselves to be that. Once they were diminished it became obvious to all there is a lot more to it. I don't think our military was ready for insurgencies to be as tenacious and resilient as they have been. The level of insurgent threat has disoriented the Bush mission, I am sorry to say, and I still have hopes that the mission works out in our best interests. I wrote a long argument on this thread back in 03 or so describing Al-Sadr as the bigger threat to the mission and I was mocked by all sides.
