You know, it might be a different story if the war had been sold to Americans honestly. It might also have been different if something resembling planning had been done to deal with the after-action realities. The military held up their end up the bargain, handling themselves in a thoroughly professional and admirable manner. It's just too bad that the same thing cannot be said for George W. Bush and his Administration.
Can you blame the Bushies for wanting to haul ass out of Iraq in July? Americans coming home in body bags during an election season is NEVER a good thing....
