In the summer of 2002, seven months before the war began, General Anthony Zinni told an audience in Florida what would be required if the United States invaded Iraq.

“You could inherit the country of Iraq, if you’re willing to do it,” he said. “If our economy is so great that you’re willing to put billions of dollars into reforming Iraq. If you want to put soldiers that are already stretched so thin all around the world and add them into a security force there forever, like we see in places like the Sinai. If you want to fight with other countries in the region to try to keep Iraq together, as Kurds and Shiites try and split off, you’re going to have to make a good case for that.”

Now it is 2006, and Bush is still trying to make that case.

This is how sickening and stupid the war actually is.
