One thing thet the Bush Camp failed to do was define some end state goals.

They should have said, "When we accomplish our goals, the situation in Iraq
will look like 1) blah blah, 2) blah blah" and so on.

The problem with going into 'nation building' like this is that no one, not even
the Bush crowd, know what the exit stategy is, so there is no real way to know
when we can leave.
