Iraq was a mistake. No WMD, no imminent threat, no good reason to fight.

Add to that... no exit strategy, no adequate manning and no support from our allies.

oops.


LOL, no other conficts?

No exit strategy? What do you mean by an exit strategy?

We should have had a plan regarding what to do after we squashed the Iraqi Army. The Bush admin even admitted to falling down in that area.


I'll be in Tempe on business the 2-4 of Feb. Anything fun to do?

I am in full support of us being there.  I feel there are reasons why an exit strategy hasn't been released in detail as to not aid the enemy.  This is how I feel and feel free to disagree all you want.


TOUCHDOWN JETS!!!!!!!

I belive that there was an exit strategy. The parts of Iraq that did not comply/agree with the theoretical plans made by white house just had to do a few things to make sure that the theory didn't match reality.
The problem was the lack of enough backup plans incase the peices on the chess board did not move in the orderly fashion dictated by the planners of the invasion.

its like the white house planned the entire "chess game" before hand and hoped the other player would use a particular move in respose to it.

If you are only staying 2 days, maybe just walk down Mill Ave in Tempe at night... pretty neat...can't go wrong.
 
Tempe is a small "college" town, but right next to Scottsdale, Phoenix and Mesa.

maybe...

The US leadership went out to do one of the most dangerous and difficult tasks one can imagine.

Installing a goverment and a way of life upon someone that you first have to "beat up" and then make them think that you and your ways are the way to go.

Imagine me going into a family home and beating up some of the family members and then wanting to be a friend with the rest of the family and make them do things my way to boot. That is very difficult indeed, if not impossible.

You cant force anyone to like and trust you.

I think Nuke is delusional and believes you can eat what you catch on a virtual-fishing trip.
