Not only was it forseen by many, many people to whom the WH did not payed any attention, I would even say its unavoidable complications in the aftermath of the field battle summer 2003 were so obvious that it all
had to be forseen. By rejecting these considerations, the WH did only illustrate it'S incompetence and lacking understanding of the situation it messed around with, which may come as part of the tradition that the Us foreign policy regarding the ME since a very long time is a mess and tumbles around blindly without any realistic orientation. Even here in the forum the situation you got in Iraq was pretty much and en detail predicted by people - by me, but not only by me but others as well. What they got in return was aggressive attack, lies and offendings of being accused of even desiring by heart and mind that there would be american failure. but seeing evil developing is not the same like wishing it to develope. It is more about realistic perception of a given situation. and the WH was megalomaniac, it was insane, and it was drunk of it'S own self-declared power that it shamelessly exaggerated.
It could have been known in advance. But the WH did not wish to know it in advance, and so ignored all the warnings, for it really wanted this war. As it turned out, the WH was totaly wrong, and the "doomsday prophets", the "sky-is-falling-callers", the "socialists" and "anti-americans", the "unpatriotic lefties", the "whiners" and the "hypercautious cowards" were right with their projections.
what we will see at some point after the presidential elections end of this year is that all those people I just mentioned above will be declared to be responsible for having turned Iraq into a failure. That will mean the climax of this absurd grotesquerie.
Well, everybody knows what happened to Kassandra warning of the doom coming. She was murdered by those she warned. What was coming next was the Greek armada - end of story.
