I agree with the idea of changing the regime in Iraq and attempting to establish some sort of elected government in the region. And, I'm in favor of staying there and getting the job done. I think the Iraqis were dealt a serious disservice the first time we were there & pulled out leaving them hanging. But, I also agree the whole thing has been seriously mismanaged, mostly on the part of Donald Rumsfeld. The former Army Chief of Staff had it pegged when he told Rumsfeld the number of troops, amount of money, committment and effort it would take. A bunch of other top military brass said the same thing, but Rumsfeld chose to try to do it on the cheap. Basically, if he would have committed the resources needed, there wouldn't be the problems we are seeing now.
