Yeah, right. "Losing end of the argument" meaning that they
tried to make a realistic plan for Iraq and got fired for it.

Yeah right, Dave. Attack that straw man. What did I say, or
do you even know?

The Pentagon war planners tried to take measures to prevent
the very instability which has occured. The Bush
Administration (more precisely, Cheney & Rumsfeld)
interfered with the chain of command, including firing
people (some of the disgruntled generals but not all), so as
to do away with this type of planning. They publicly scoffed
at the idea of planning for post-invasion security forces &
stabilizing the country.

Now they've been proven wrong, in a big way. So, shall we
learn from the mistakes and do better? Of course not! Why
bother when you can fling mud and insist it's all the fault
of those fag-loving libby-rull traitors?
