"The difference between you and the reality based community is that the reality based community accurately predicted the failure of such strategies, accurately predicted that the problem would be worsened through the use of such strategies and early on recognized the signs of failure while you did none of the above.

I agree with your post. I have a question. What was your view of our intervention in Serbia/Kosovo. I remember very clearly the late Col. Hackworth predicting hundreds of body bags coming home as fierce serb fighters took out their vengeance on us. I dont know that we lost a man. The one guy who ate bugs for a few days and then was recovered was the only one ever in danger. For me serbian success make iraq a better bet than i once would have thought and we did indeed win the war very quickly. But we lost the peace.
