There are many many instances of the war being rewritten and I suggest you hit old posts for a documented run down.

However, it started -- to be brief with the soon to be retire Asst Sec Wolfowitz saying that we would be "met with rose petals" that is a quote and serious words from a clown. This did not happen. Many things but next the US dissolved the Iraqi Army which the adm officials see as a mistake.

There are more failed strategies but as yet NO exit strategy.

"Retired Lt. Gen. Jay Garner, the first American civilian administrator of Iraq, said in a recent interview with BBC radio that a number of major mistakes were made and are still being made in post-war Iraq. Permitting the looting, disbanding the Iraqi military and not relinquishing political control of the country to Iraqis were among the mistakes he cited."

Hear Garner himself, his own role included in the audio and article

Zarf and I were discussing JUSTIFICATIONS on going to war, not predictions on the war.

No the question -- anyone? is what are the polls like on approval for the war

I don't know how to make this more clear.

Americans support war in Iraq 2-to-1, poll finds

You sound like just another Shrill for the Leftist press. You can validate this liar all you want but it merely reveals your true nature.

When Europe was LIBERATED fom the clutches of Fascism, it took more than 5 years to restore a functioning government that would handle the transition to democracy, which still stands today. (although threatened)

Your expectations, that just 1 year after the initial liberation, Iraq should be completely functional, is nothing more than defeatism.
