How ya gonna do that if a brutal dictator like Saddam has killed all his opposition? There simply wasn't any opposition in the local population.

I think it all boils down to advance intelligence work, and I'm not referring to WMD's either. But our intelligence was not what it should have been in being familiar enough with the political attitudes of the iraqi opposition.
But the blame for the intelligence problem has to sit mostly with the Demorats, who spent years doing everything possible to decimate out intelligence all over the world.
