The "we'll be greeted by everyone as liberators and everything will be cool" mentality was not a conservative one...

No one ever said "everything will be cool". Some said in some areas of Iraq "we will be greeted as liberators", which was true.

How bout some other nightmarish predicitions that were made that turned out to be hogwash? No one ever talks about those.

Were mistakes made? Of course, they always are.

Bush always said, this will be a long and difficult struggle, an he 'aint lyin'....

Every time he talked about the WOT or Iraq he has always stated this. Probably so much that many ignored it as a mere cliche when it wasn't meant as such.
