My own personal belief is the fault for all of this falling apart lies at the feet of the traitorcrats when they politicized the war and blew apart any unity that we had. They purposefully took W down (see "Rockefeller memo"), any way they could.
Now, I'm not suggesting W wasn't stupid in all of this, because he was. He allowed them do do so in order to keep his pledge of the "new tone". That was a horrible miscalculation, not knowing how evil our traitorcrats are.
By not fighting them the way he should, they drove him, along with anyone right of center into the dust. I think that was his big (huge) mistake, not the attempt to drive that wedge into the Islamic world.
Had he not gotten the traitorcrat/media complex doing what they did, he would have likely been able to take Iran out without firing a shot, as well as starting something new in Iraq.
At that point, the strong horse would have been us, and NOT radical Islam.
My 2 cents.
You need to find yourself a new world this one is real
