Oh, i'm not denying that the US/Coalition occupation was extremely poorly planned and based upon rediculous assumptions; mainly that the Iraqi people would swarm to the 'liberators' and immediately help them as much as possible, praise the ground that GIs and Marines stood upon and freely blow them at their request.
I'm really hoping that the major lesson learnt from this whole debacle by the US military is not only to plan for victory - something they are actually very good at - but also
plan for occupation.
Besides, i prefer Salmon over Cod
