It seems one of the biggest mistakes of this war was mobilizing for so long in advance of the actual invasion. I realize the mobilization was a tactical ploy to get Saddam to back down, but it also carried a cost that we are bearing right now -- our troops have been on station for long months and are very tired.

Don't forget the six months the UN kept delaying and delaying us.
