Reply #54: Again, you missed some pretty important news. We had a chance for peace,

shortly after the military victory, it was Bremer & Co. brilliant idea to, instead of doing what we know from experience works so well, that being giving the money to the people's government so they could go about rebuilding their newly demolished country, instead we declared a feeding frenzy for well connected thieves and turned them lose on the citizens of Iraq.

Of course, they were a little upset about what we did to them after defeating their military, and so we started the insurgency against the occupation ourselves. A clusterfuck that only arbusto_® could, in his uniquely incompetent way, create. So we are talking about two different wars, the first one the military went in and did what it does so well, the second one manufactured and for which we have no way to win.

So again, we won the war and began the revolution immediately afterward. Kind of like attacking the only country in whole region that had a secular government and no tolerance for terrorists, and gave them a religious war and invited in a bunch of terrorists.

This is what happens when you select someone that has failed at everything he's ever done in his life, except for conning people even dumber than he is, as resident.
