Mondo Distortionari, you are stating yourself that Bush had no real plan to secure Iraq and essentially knew this when he dicided to go in.
They went in knowing that they were creating a powder keg, and they did it intentionally. They knew that there were never going to be close to enough troops there to secure the peace. I agree with your analysis.

Freedumbburns, with just under one metric ton[/b] per soldier in the entire US Army that Hussein had, you can hardly claim the US created a powder keg, either figuratively or literally.
There are not enough troops in the Army to secure all the explosives in the way you suggest. We'd have to send the postal service and possibly the Elks, just to get the manpower that you want.
Mondo Distortionari, living up to your new nickname I see.
I never claimed tha Bush created the powder keg. You are distorting my words.
I am only agreeing with you. Bush knew that there was way more weaponry and explosives in Iraq than the US Army could ever hope to secure.
You are simply restating what I already agreed with you on. The Bush Administration knew full well that there were not enough troops to secure the country and it's existing stockpiles.
They let it happen this way because the wanted Iraq to be an unstable morass that would requre our presence for a long time. This is obviously the reason behind the foot dragging on training the new police force, too.
