Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. Saddam Hussein had no terrorist links or involvement in the September 11 terror attack.....may be the fact that the person who made them, Paul Craig Roberts, is a former Reagan administration official, a former Wall Street Journal editor and a former contributing editor at the National Review.
U.S. casualties (dead and wounded) now stand at 10 percent of the U.S. invasion force. A few thousand lightly armed insurgents have tied down eight U.S. divisions. Iraq's infrastructure lies in ruins. Fallujah, once a city of 300,000, has been destroyed ... most of the U.S. fighting force is confined to protecting supply lines and its own bases.
... Civil war looms as neither Sunnis, Shiites, nor Kurds are willing to support a government they do not control ... There is no light at the end of the tunnel.
... The question is: are Americans smart enough to realize this? Our government is not smart enough. The occupant of the Oval Office is drowning in hubris and delusion.
... The promised Iraqi election, if held, will settle nothing. If it is not a total disaster, it might provide cover for U.S. withdrawal, not piecemeal but all at once.
Unfortunately, Roberts doesn't have much company among conservatives.
