The New York Times > International > 'Catastrophic Success': The Strategy to Secure Iraq Did Not Foresee a 2nd War

i don't know about the rest of you, but i am pretty sure that saddam hussein forsaw the second war. in fact, i think that he was banking on it. the old man was probably hoping that he could have laid low enough for long enough to just wait out the american invasion force. and now, the only real question is how long will the american force last. personally, i would hope not very long. idealy, america should start leaving tomorrow.
