I beg to differ.

Iraq was perfectly planned and executed. It was designed to win the election in 2004, which it did. Since then it's become such a cluster fuck that billions have gone unnoticed and just disappeared.

Now they will start pulling troops the spring before the next election. If the necons win then great. If they don't then the mess that's left there will be blamed on the dems.

This is a common tactic and works very well.

For Americans, Iraq is easily one of the top 10 worst mistakes in our history. For those running the war it is a resounding success.

It doesnt even come close to the Vietnam war blunders - ya'll need to bone up on some real history - of course you could also bone up on Iraqs history a little since all we are doing is repeating the history the British had in the 1920s with Churchill
