It has become apparent that the occupation was the main source of the attacks on American troops.

The main "source of attacks" has been Muslim fundamentalists, aided by the technical resources of Saddam's guys (don't forget, while Saddam was initially simply a leftist Arab nationalist, once he could cash in on Muslim hatred of freedom and the West, he rushed to do so).

We're not turning anything over to the locals; we are making some of them responsible for things they should have taken responsibility for long ago. The part of Fallujah they are "taking over" has already been pacified, and we are still shooting at the rest of it.

When Spain bailed on us, we realized that Europe is a waste of time, and there's no need to court them anymore. We can forget Europe and find Iraqi allies now.

We have spent too much time wondering WWET (What Would Europe Think?).
