Lets face it, we were duped into believing Iraq had WMD by Saddam's
bravado
and our own over-willingness to believe.

Either that or Saddam dumped it ALL on the Kurds...and those hundreds of
trucks running into Syria were carrying pomogranites.

The issue now is how are we going
to extract ourselves from Iraq without looking like we were beaten off
(ala
Somalia) or leaving a goverment as brutal as Saddam's to maintain order.

Are we?
