The Reps are too dumb to realize we lost this war before it started by not thinking ahead or planning ahead, so they went at it without the resources to control after the invasion.
Worse than that, the have lost the media war in the middle east and continue to do so by letting the military keep the press at bay, so our side doesn't get reported. The military is still smarting from what they feel was unfair treatment by the press in Viet Nam, maybe because they can't get it through there skulls that we had no business being there. Now they've shot themselves in the foot again by letting the enemy win the hearts and minds of the region. I'm not saying it wouldn't be an uphill battle, but christ, don't hand it to them.
