The philosophical subtext here is that **betrayal** led to Saddam's defeat, not coalition military skill or the rot at the core of the Iraq regime.

Except if you scratch a little deeper its obvious the "betrayal" was only necessary because of certain defeat.

Of course. But that is WAAAAY too subtle a point for these philosophical simpletons.
