Yes you’re right. We can all say Saddam was a bad guy and must be taken out. After the successful invasion in 2003, we f***ed up the occupation. We should never had dismantled the Iraqi Army. Rumsfeld was to blame for this for trying to go to war on the cheap. Gates is now having to fix a whole a lot of things and finally we have the right General to get the job done in Iraq.

Is that you John McCain? NOW how did the military get CHEAP? Could it have been due to the Clintons draw-down???? The occupation was turned over to the Powelines at the State/UNers.... I guess you could say it was to demonstrate that these professional diplomats could talk their way to peace and stability. Rummy did what he was told to do.

The War in Iraq took place in March 2003. Two years after President Clinton ended his term. We should had increased the size of the military and had more troops in the occupation. Former General Shiniskei said we needed at least a couple hundred thousand of troops if we were to occupy Iraq.
