Where to begin....
What has been learned?
No WMDs.
No ties to 9 / 11.
No ties to Bin Laden.
No cakewalks.
No Flowers.
No slam dunks.
No Iraqi oil money to pay for the mess.
And foremost, absolutely no justification for going to war with Iraq, yet here we are in a ever growing mess.
Hell, this military is so damned ignorant, they can't even do a coverup and get it right.
Incompetence at the top and the trickle down theory.
As for as how it's going in Iraq:
Same way things were going in Nam in '68.
Politicians with no military experience making "decisions" on how the war is prosecuted and looking for some one or something to blame other than themselves when all their "decisions" prove to be disasterously wrong.
Why is Rumsfeld still the Sec Def?
