The aftermath could possibly have been planned better however it doesn't change much now. It is what it is and has to be dealt with and I think most have figured that out.

I actually believe that, though unplanned, the insurgency was a theatre action conducted by the enemy. History is going to be kind to Mr. Bush. We may have wanted to come home sooner, but for the fact that we did not, we eventually destroyed Al Qaeda, precipitated the surrender of Libya, and probably fomented the necessary amount of rebellion in Iran to overthrow the Mullahs.
