Yeah, but I really dont like bringing that up because its the blame game again. What our govt should do is realize their mistake and fix it before its too late. There are brighter people than myself who can figure out what to do next, but I dont see a winning situation in Iraq. With no real regime in Iraq now, its going to be guerilla tactics from now on. Our troops are not safe there at all, especially if we have squads of 5 men guarding checkpoints at each block. We lost alot of the local support because we went in there pretty heavy handed and blew alot of shit up. We need to replace more of out troops with local Iraqis, but as you can see, they get blown up by the busloads every week. But, if you look back to the 70's, replacing US Marines with ARVN troops didnt work out either.
