...but the remaining parties will be unable to live together peacefully. If there were plents of people saying as much, I sure don't remember them....

CJ, you conveniently left out your reply to the major part of Elroy's post disputing the main point of the post he disagreed with.

CJ, > I don't think there was anyone who seriously doubted that Saddam would be easily defeated.

I like how the naysayers tossed up a bunch of doom-n-gloom predictions, then celebrated when only a few of them turned out to be true.

Here is what Scott Ritter said before the Iraq war:

I'm betting that Saddam's gonna be around a lot longer than anyone can predict.

I'm betting that we don't capture Bhagdad.

I'm betting that we stall outside Bhagdad.

I'm betting that this becomes an absolute quagmire.
