the problem with these necons is they did not expect the levels of internecine bloodshed after the toppling of Hussein...Sure, most Iraqis were glad to be done with Sadaam but I'm sure they weren't expecting the neocon way of governance over an occupied land...Rumsfeld laughing off the looting of their National Museum, et al...A total disrespect of the people we were supposed to be "liberating"...
