As in Afghanistan, before invading, we should have had a post-war plan that made sense, not just a lot of wishful thnking about the crowds cheering us. The Bushies also should have been honest with us. I remember Rumsfield denying we'd need as many as 100,000 troops in Iraq ofr several years. Now the real figure is more like 200,000 troops for 5-10 years. Anything to get their invasion, that's the way they played it. Like a big false advertising campaign. But now we see the reality. Ugh. Nobody I've heard knows what the hell to do with Iraq now except escalate.
