good post silvy...
in addition, i would argue that the US military DID know what they were getting into when they started this war. i have a lot of contact with military circles, don't think that this is unexpected to them. but, i agree that some of the politicians and certainly the news media did not consider the real implications of invading a country and occupying it for a year or so.
