he is a spec war fan and thought Iraq would handle like Afghanistan. Didnt seem to understand that it is a top down society ala the best of "cult of personality" regimes with a rather large standing army centrally controlled. It might have gone down if sadaam had been killed in the initial attack. Since he wasnt rummie did not have a contingency plan in place. He forgot that Gunny Murphy is always along for the ride.
thanx,
