The considered opinion of all was that Saddam was not bluffing and had WMD. there is a large group who seem to igore this fact and must go on and on about lying this and that. many professionals expressed many opinions as to how many troops. Tims is money and time is also death. For more troops to be sent more of the C level and D level troops would have to be sent. I expect another half billion could have been spent with only a fourfold increase in casualties and nothing different gained. The military did an outstanding job in seizing the country. The initial rebuilding did not go well because the military's past decades of training simply did not address the current situation. The military adapted and thing are better and getting better and the time frame was amazingly quick.
