but the problem is, the plan was to occupy for years all along. We knew that and I'm sure the Dems knew that. And they should have realized that the Iraqis weren't going to go for a permanent occupation. And regardless of how prepared we were for the post-war realities, we'd still be seeing casualties being there will undoubtedly be resistance. So this is not a good attack plan, because even if one of their plans (did they even have a plan or were they just along for the ride?) was being used our soldiers would still be dying.
