"the risk calculus had changed...." Correct, but the Bush administration willingly stayed blind to that fact. Remember Powell warned the president on numerous occassions that the aftermath of the invasion would be no cakewalk. I think Powell said to the President if you go to war "are you prepared to own Iraq?"

What a mess though. We won the second world war in less time. Just think, after all these years of occupation and more than 3,000 American soldiers dead, it's still a deadly trip from Baghdad airport to the Green zone. Wow, that's a long way from "Mission Accomplished," in my opinion.
