[Political Junkie Too]

The second-guessing of 2003 still daily obsesses us: We should have had better intelligence; we could have kept the Iraqi military intact; we would have been better off deploying more troops.

I'm still baffled at how these lookbacks always ignore the impact that Powell's losing Turkey and the northen launch point for our forces has had on the overall war in Iraq. If we had a northern front and a southern front, we would have controlled the area that the terrorists fled to (and the border crossers came to) and we might not be seeing the entrenched insurgency that is there today.
