And at this rate there will be something like 500 or 600 hundred KIA's by the time it is all settled, that number seems pretty low for invasion and occupation.
I am almost completely satisfied with the job performance of my President.

Give me a break! Last week I heard that if it wasn't for the "New Military" that GWB and Rumsfeld designed we would not have been so successful, now it's they're Clinton's generals. Reality is that this administration has chosen to listen to the generals that already agreed with them and dismissed those who did not. Gen. Shinseki(I know that's not spelled right) reccommend almost 100,000 more troops for the action, but was dismissed by Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and now it turns out he was correct.
The Bush Administration rushed into this war without evaluating the long term consequences and without a stong post war/disengagement plan. Whether you agree or disagree with the war, you have to admit that while the war strategy was effective, the plan as a whole was not complete or well thought out and this administration should be held responsible (just as any administration should) for the outcome.
