“It’s over.”

Powell:

“We made some serious mistakes in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Baghdad,” Powell told the National School Board Association’s annual conference in Chicago. “We didn’t have enough troops on the ground. We didn’t impose our will. And as a result, an insurgency got started, and ... it got out of control.”

As I understand it, imposing our will meant for one imposing and equal oil revenue sharing plan. To date Bush still has not imposed one completely. Some say it is a defect in the personality of leadership-style of Bush. Bremer’s book gives few straight answers.
