The invasion and overthrow was brilliantly done in spite of the Turks unwillingness to allow our heavy armor to come rolling down from the north. It's the aftermath that simply hasn't worked out. The US allowed an insurgency to take hold that gave room for a guy like Sadr to enjoy a level of influence that he never should have been able to achieve. They have allowed Syria and Iran to embed their agents in the country and raise hell without any retribution. They decided to rebuild a country with our tax dollars looking to win hearts and minds when too many of the population are mindless savages who are looking to settle scores instead of build their country. The invasion was long overdue but the post invasion plans have been rather ineffective. I measure that by the blood of our soldiers.

We have actually lost very few soldiers when considering a three+ year war. In fact, our losses have been remarkably low. So by that standard the war is going well in every phase. More US soldiers were killed in an hour at Shiloh, Chickamauga and Antietam that have been killed in Iraq.

We in no way "allowed" an insurgency to take hold. If we had an honest media the success of this operation would be widely touted in spite of some difficulties. Saddam's release of 50,000 violent criminals prior to the invasion did not help matters either. No mention of that in the Treason Media either.

If it were to stop suppressing such facts as Libya running a nuclear research program for Saddam, his removal of WMDs and the peaceful environment in most of Iraq there would be massive support for the war still.

There aren't that many "mindless savages" either thousands from millions is still a small percentage. A large percentage of the terrorists are not even Iraqi.
