Sort of like Iraq before we invaded?

Unfortunately, it will be decades before Iraq is as stable or prosperous as the Saddam era. Mission accomplished, because the destruction of Iraq WAS THE GOAL of the Neocons when they hoodwinked Bush into this invasion.

Some interesting poll results:

<<< Iraqis are more opposed to the American presence than ever, do not think the surge has accomplished either its military or its political goals, and have dwindling confidence in the US forces.

You'll recall that the explicit purpose of the surge was to create the conditions for political dialogue. 70% see "conditions for political dialogue" as having gotten worse in the last six months. >>>
