7. BB (Before Bushes) Iraq was thriving and prosperous under Saddam
.
.
.

Ample power, water, facilities, cheap fuel, etc., etc.

Bush 1 started the down-slide with the First Gulf War, ingesting tons of Depleted Uranium poisons into the Iraqi's land, water and air - DU is a substance banned for over 60 years until Bush1 decided it was a good idea to poison the Iraqis with it

Bush 2 continues the genocide.

As a WAR Nation, the US hadda know that by destroying/disbanding the Iraqi army that the nation would fall into civil war.

This situation is on PURPOSE.

This is no "boo-boo"

The PNACers are willing to sacrifice as many young Americans as necessary to keep a presence in Iraq, - with or without body and vehicle armor - and extended tours so they are exhausted and mean.

Saddam had almost half a million military to keep his country under control (1,000,000 before the US shot 10.s of thousands of them in the back as they retreated from Kuwait in GW1)

So going in with a mere 150,000 that did not know the country OR the language . .

Was doomed to fail . .

well

SUCCEED really -

just fumble around enough to destabilize the whole region!

Dubya said it right on that Aircraft Carrier - -

"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

(sigh)
