DTS.

We won the war militarily. We wiped the Iraqi military out. Did you miss that? We invaded and removed Iraq as a country we thought was a nuclear and biological threat to us directly.

Now as far as stabilizing the country after wiping out the regime that held so many factions from killing each other with brutal authority, well, that has clearly not gone well.

Our first objective was met with success. We removed what we thought was a threat. (No WMD's but we did not know that. We had people scouring all sites detected as biological and nuclear threats) Clearly should have spent some time thinking about stabilizing the country. After we got rid of the regime and finding no WMD's, then we had an entirely different objective that was not well thought out at all.
Then it was, ok then... well we did get rid of a brutal dictator (excuse for not finding WMD's)... uhhh, lets get this country fixed, uhhhh...

What is incorrect about my analysis and opinion.
