Our own military says that US made insuergency what it is today...

We believe that it was intentional, on the part of the civilian leaders, an has gotten way out-of-control.

Failue means big bucks to many who are involed in this Mes-O-Potamia.

TomPaine.com - I Hate To Say I Told You So:

Those of us who were labeled America-haters for saying that Iraq was a mess and that our military presence was making things worse are actually being proven right, by the military's own documentation.

Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq, written by Washington Post senior Pentagon correspondent Thomas Ricks and set to be published this summer, is not to be dismissed as the opinions of shifty Iraqis or pointy-headed academics. Instead, for his material Ricks went straight to the good old, blood-and-guts sources, the Armed Services archives themselves, or, as The Washington Post puts it in its excerpts from the book, which started running in the paper Sunday, 'a review of more than 30,000 pages of military documents and several hundred interviews with U.S. military personnel.'

And what do they tell us ?

...There is ... strong evidence, based on a review of thousands of military documents and hundreds of interviews with military personnel, that the
U.S. approach to pacifying Iraq in the months after the collapse of Hussein helped spur the insurgency and made it bigger and stronger than it might have been. ..."
