This seems to bring the question back around to if Bush knows what he's doing or not. I'm afraid that argument will never be agreed upon by the warring factions on this board.
What is of more interest to me is looking past that for just a moment, and trying to see if there is anything - anything at all - that can be done to make Iraq able to take some sort of control over its own people.
