An occupying army is always vulnerable. Iraq is a tarbaby. Once you grab hold it's going to be hard to extricate yourself. I'm not a fan of pouring money into Iraq. I suspect the real motivation for invading in the first place was posted on the PNAC website long before the World Trade Center massacre. The membership of the Project for a New American Century reads like a who's who of the Bush Administration, and these folks were pounding the table for invading Iraq back in the Clinton Administration. Their rationale appears to be that the United States needs to establish a forward base in the Middle East, in order to project power and to remake the politics of the entire region. The whole thing strikes me as utopian and full of unintended danger.
