How many troops died for the stars of generals shine ?

The basic flaw in the optimistic reasoning of the generals was that they naively assumed that the Bush Administration had any interest whatsoever in the welfare of the Iraqi people.  The reconstruction, the provision of essential services, the existence of jobs, and the security of the streets that were essential elements in post war planning for success were little more than an afterthought to the Bushies. A phalanx of Inexperienced, loyal, young Republicans were recruited to attend to the affairs of the country.  And what did they do?  They headed for the safety of the palace in the Green Zone and partied around the pool as Baghdad crumbled outside the gates.

The Bush Plan exposed, unmasked and debunked. Finally!

That’s the problem with blind optimism and battlement governing: blind governing. And now they will do the same with Iran. What is it they say about making the same mistake over and over but expecting different results? Yeah. And its address is the White House.

How much more need be revealed before we take bushelled action?

The Iraq war plan was; Ill Conceived,poorly planned and badly implemented. What else needs to be added?

The big Brass are supposed to be educated. How any person with any degree of education, could be that silly? We have thousands of years of recorded history for the area and we couldn’t figure out that it would be a hard slog. Foriegn invasion of a country of fundmentalist religous.

These idiots are so focused on their arrogance, conceit, greed for power, personal invulnerablity that they have behaved like teenagers and not very bright ones at that.

Alice would have been right at home.

Now that we know about the lies of Douglas Feith and many others in the Bush administration, could it be that Tommy Franks was also involved?

Many experts on occupation after war said there would be problems with Rumsfeld’s approach to post-invasion Iraq.

Was the disorder and chaos there intentional to provide a reason for the US to stay there indefinitely?

It’s obvious that someone in the White House asked the military to develope a strategy for invasion, cooptation, and restructuring of Iraq.

I’m sure those persons heard what they wanted. A Gung Ho General looking for another star or two.

Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield were eager to go. I can just see them rubbing their hands in glee as one says to the other, “Now we need some reasons to go!”

I love the assumption that we would be successful as an occuping force, after our experiences in Vietnam.

The beauty of their plan. Everybody gets some. The Generals more stars, The president, vengence for his daddy and the glory of being a “War President” (something he didn’t have the stomach for in Vietnam). Cheney and Rumsfield get cash!
