you (almost) always learn something from discussion maeng.
I agree with you Evan that you can't criticize the administration for not being able to see the future. I dont' think we looked long enough at the situation to determine what was going on. There was "ORANGE ALERT" all the time, and the Rep. govt officials including Bush and Cheney kept saying "imminent threat" and "ties to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups." All of that information was false. We went in under false pretenses with ulterior motives and no international support. We shot ourselves in the foot.
