why did our leadership not plan for the aftermath and instead insist we would be greeted as liberators and everyone would live happily ever after?
VICE PRES. DICK CHENEY: My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. Meet the Press, Sunday September 14th, 2003. How many times can one administration be wrong on one subject?

the mission accomplished banner was unfurled on May 1, 2003. Saddam was not captured until December, 7 months later.
It is strange though, that they thought we would be greeted as liberators, and for more than 3 years have tried to convince us that their strategy is working.

Iraq is the center piece for political change in the Middle East. We won't even have to attack Iran if we can stabilize Iraq. They will fall from within.
We were greeted as liberators....Iranian insurgents were able to keep Iraq destabilized long enough for Civil War to erupt.
A free Iraq with the average Iraqi receiving his fare share oil revenue check (as in Kuwait) will destabilize the Iranian government to where they will fear an uprising amongst their own peoples.

The strategy of Vice President Cheney: Funnel as much tax-payer money through Haliburton as possible. Strategy of President Bush: Increase Oil Company revenues as high as possible.

The Clinton administration adopted the policy of regime change in Iraq, but didn't have the balls to get rid of Saddam, or bin -laden!

Well, we were greeted as liberators. I know, I was there. I was also there recently and the vast majority of Iraqis still want us there. The only people who do not want us there are the thugs, terrorists and insurgents. Sepember 13th 2003 was months after the fall of saddam, so your wrong.

You were expecting a strategy from Bush or Cheney? They are completely incapable of looking at the big picture.

They did not count on the Iranians and Syrians sending in so many terrorists and weapons. Yes they made mistakes, the civil war has been started by Iran, and it is about time we took care of that problem too.

Bush is NO GOOD at AFTERMATH. His figures don't add up. I think we should help him to ADD or SUBTRACT.
