".. not that it wasn't presumptious to think we were EVER in control." Well, we could have been. If we had followed with enough military police to lock things down and keep the looters in control, and followed that with supplies and had a rebuilding program to restore services, things might have worked out. But that would have been too expensive so... It looks as if the Shiites have gotten tired of it. Kosh said it best, "when the avalanche starts, it is too late for the pebbles to vote".

Following is the first I've seen (MSP) of what is really happening. When is the "right" going to call it what it now is, a civil war? Do any of the right-wing folks on this thread really READ any of these articles anymore? Or are they burying their heads in the sand? This is spiraling farther and farther out of contol... not that it wasn't presumptious to think we were EVER in control. Actually, they mostly would prefer that we drop the subject. I would love to walk into the Senate and run a video clip of Bush's speech and those GOP buttheads sticking their purple index fingers into the air in applause. What losers! ted
