Hearings continue in the House and Senate as lawmakers try to figure out
how
the United States became mired in Iraq and why there still is no viable
strategy for victory.

Just a thought:

1) Iraq was a place full of guns before we arrived.
2) America is a place full of guns now. Many of those guns are better than
the ones issued to the military, and their owners love to practice with
them.

If we were invaded, does anyone believe we would behave any differently than
the so-called "insurgents" in Iraq? :-) Why quit when you can get away
with just about anything you want?
