Well stated. We ware handling the occupation as a PC exercise, this isn't a situation that lends itself to being nice. I think the complaints that the administration didn't have a after action plan is right on. Because of this and Pres. Bush's failure to meet head on the critics a good part of the nation can't come up with a good reason to stay. Can't blame them.
I don't think they had much of a pre-action plan. Disbanded the military and let them go home to raise hell. Drove by millions of tons of high munitions, etc. etc. What can you say. Now for two years they have let Jihadist build private armies,and they wonder what went wrong??
