Reply #5: Put aside the fact that it came from Bremer [View All]

at the time, he was right

The USA never secured the borders, allowing all the negative factions to infiltrate

I do not think for once second that the USA invasion and occupation is justified, but for it to have succeeded, many more troops were/are needed

As it stands, the USA is fumbling around without enough manpower to control the country - that's pretty obvious

The US did their "superpower" thing with the bombs and missiles, but still haven't got control of the war on the ground, never will. The USA is in a country that didn't want them there, doesn't want them there, and the relatives and children of the innocents they keep killing will haunt them for generations to come - some are already in the USA, and more will come . .

I have no illusions about Bremer being a puppet of the USA Administration, and pretty much a weasel, but he was right on on that one -

The USA went in with far too few troops to have realistically expected to be able to control Iraq

That's my Canuk opinion anyhoo . . . .
