DUH!!!
Really and nobody paid attention? Wow, doesn't really surprise me but wow, WTF was the BA thinking? Then to make matters worse they allow rampant looting of museums, Hussein regime office buildings and palaces, and they disband the army and the police. When you are warned of anarchy why in God's name do you do things that will promote a sense of lawlessness and anarchy? I mean sure let em celebrate, help em topple Hussein statues but please send your tanks and APVs to ensure that there is no looting (looting does tend to create a sense of lawlessness and once you lose the concept that the law will govern chaos reigns) of museums and government offices and private residences. Also keep the army and police in place (sans those who you suspect of committing human rights violations) and when you are eager to say you have no future be sure to wait to utter this pronouncement until after you have disarmed your potential foe. Furthermore why do you have Abu Ghraib? When and if I ever launch an invasion of a sovereign state IIraq will be my model of how not to do things. Oh yes and I need to get a copy of Tenet's book.
