You forgot the occupation of Germany and Japan. Hmmm wonder why? BTW e John Kerry plan for victory is to surrender to the enemy as he helped us do to the Viet Cong while he was in Paris. So what size Burka do you want to wear?
No I didn't. Germany and Japan were occupied only after a long war of several years had been fought and won, with their leaders formally surrendering. In Iraq there has been no formal surrender by the former government and the occupation was handled incompetently by morons in the Bush administration from Day One.
You don't agree with Bush's decisions to invade with underwhelming force and to disband the Iraqi army shortly after the invasion in 2003, do you?
