The resulting chaos from the insurgency in Iraq rests squarely on the shoulders of all those who criticized the Iraqi portion of the war on terror. The political pressure placed on the administration by those who simply hated/disliked/disapproved of the Bush administration are to blame. The other part of the blame does lie with Bush himself for not listening to the ground commanders input, blindly accepting the recomendations of Rumsfeld and not committing enough ground forces to provide for the security of Iraq after baghdad and Hussein were captured.
