Because we went in to "fix" poo poo and completely destabilized the area with a lack of an exit plan, where we balled out on a country that was in juvenile development in terms of a new government. We left them with a lovely half assed military made up of unmoyivated dudes with no real experienced leadership because of us deciding gently caress those guys, then trying to give them American style everything rather than adapting our system to their culture. Then there was the whole surge bullshit, arming deathsquads and paying them so they were then "security forces" and we could say that insurgent activity was down in Anbar, leaving those motherfuckers armed and unsupervised all because Bush put worthless fuckstain Pateaus as Supreme Reichsmarshall of Nickels. gently caress the whole situation. I feel like poo poo because I put a ton of work in, and wanted to do the right thing, and wanted Iraq to come out better than when we went in. So yeah, kinda our fault.

Godholio posted:No we didn't, we went in to topple Saddam. That's as far as our plan went. We didn't even move to secure the borders for months. Reconstruction contractors and supplies should have been right behind the ships carrying tanks and MREs. But...nope. I am well aware of how things went down- I should have been more clear. That was the intent on how to "fix" Iraq- topple Saddam then everything will be better. Too bad the war was run by mouth breathing retards.
