Just when so many pundits and posters and politicians inside the tent have been acknowledging points that I was making pre-Iraq.

Just because the occupation had problems doesn't mean the liberation was wrong. 20/20 hindsight..........

Yeah, every one but active listening when it might have counted

Listened to whom? to what? No other coherent policy to deal with the problem was being advanced anywhere by anyone. Just a "DONT DO ANYTHING" from the left and Saddam's payees, with tacit agreement from the realists at State. Nobody had any constructive suggestions for getting containment to work, or solving the problem any other way.
