But IMO even if it was his assessment, where in the Hell did he get that info? The F-ked up intelligence agencies at the time and the fact that Bush was going in regardless, I'll never waiver from that thought. Too much there IMO. So who is truly at fault? I was watching something last night and it was interviewing soldiers in Anbar and a 'for the war' field grade officer said "we messed it up, and we owe it to these people to fix it." I'm as pro military and American as anyone, but IMO Bush messed this up so bad and the Iraqi people have become so divided as well as it's government... I just don't know what to think anymore besides wishing ony the best for our troops and I will support what the majority of them want out of this, which is success and nothing short of a victory. Only their own CiC has ever stood in the way of that. We achieved many goals in the beginning, Saddam fell and a democratically elected government where those people got to vote for the first time with meaning. It's been a shit sandwich ever since. The Iraqi government is both typical and should of been predictable given who they are and their culture. Those savages are as worthless as teats on a male goat.
