Topic for Keyser......

[Keyser Soze]

Simple Keyser....
* We dismantled the Iraqi Army and Police Forces, therefore we became responsible for law enforcement.... with insufficient troops we were unable to do so.... remember the looting. From the start the message of lawlessness was given to the Iraqi people
* We had insufficient forces to secure the borders, and the infamous foreign fighters had unfettered access.
* We had insufficient forces to secure the munitions dumps, and these facilities were raided and used in the production of the roadside explosives we have been hit by.
*We had insufficient forces and Contract Soldiers were hired by companies for protection. These men do NOT report to the US Army and have done much to enflame hostilities.
*Forces have been insufficient to protect the work force engaged in rebuilding and Electric and Oil Production are still under pre war levels...

do I need to continue?

And if Bush had provided a more accurate portrayal of the cost and troop level needed, you would have supported his call to action? Or do you feel the need to criticize him no matter what?

Should we have finished off Afghanistan and just go on our merry way, hoping Saddam would just be a good little dictator and leave the rest of the world alone?

I've already agreed much earlier in this thread that Bush mismanaged this entire war, so i'm a bit confused as to what you're trying to argue with me about. My question for you is, what would you propose we should have done, without the benefit of hindsight?
