I'll take what comfort I can from this. Joel Send a noteboard - 26/05/2010 06:45:53 PM
But obviously GWB and his team had no idea what to do afterwards, so the pooch was royally screwed. He/I was wrong and we shouldn't have done it.

Happy? :D

W should've read his daddys book on the first war, since he says clearly and at length that the reason he didn't occupy Iraq or try to remove Saddam was because it would've gone exactly as it has. Our war was in Afghanistan, and that should've remained our focus; losing that focus has strained our military resources, severely damaged our credibility and allowed much of Al Qaeda to slink away to Pakistan and regroup in an ALLIED country that can't do jack about them for fear it will spark a revolution.
