I think that's part of the point. The Bush Administration
didn't make sure we had enough troops to keep an
insurgency from forming. We had enough to invade, but
not enough to effectively occupy.
News is news and the headlines for some of those articles
was over the top compared to what they actually reported.
I'm sure you don't think that if the press didn't cover the
violence going on in Iraq it would somehow stop or do
you?
