Re: personally I would have moved heaven and earth to have tried to keep the Iraqi army intact. >>> That is what the State Department's plan for post-war Iraq called for (a very detailed plan, the result of 2 1/2 years of discussion with Middle East experts across the government)... but on the eve of the invasion, Rummie tossed the plan and went with an Ahmed Chalabi fantasy. >>> Keeping certain elements of the Army together was also what our FIRST Iraqi administrator wanted to do (along with call quick elections) --- but then we fired the General after just 30 days and put Bremmer in.
