He said the biggest mistake the US made this time was letting the army disband - they were nearly all anti Saddam anyway and ould have been used to police Iraq. Instead they let them all go home WITH THEIR GUNS to work for whichever local hoodlum took their fancy. well that makes me feel a whole lot safer :-(

It's not exactly sophisticated - like the time in 2005 they told opposition parties to boycott the Venezualan election, so they could accuse Chavez of not having free elections. The list goes on, I guess Iran is just the next hit they're going to make. Welcome to the wonderful world of the US governments policy.
