I think N.K. is just playing mind games with the U.S. and Japan. When it really comes down to it they are pure bulls--t.This idiot of a leader don't know his ass from his elbow about any type of military strategy.What does a 30 year old know zero!
"If it turns out that President Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hard-line, unreasonable, totalitarian mullahs in the world but not with Republicans? Maybe he’s not the problem."
oops sorry I thought you were talking about Korea.
to pull a "Rosanna Danna" ; NEVER mind !
However to add to insult- we should have gotten out in 6 !! ugh !! Actually shouldn't have gone in the first place, BUT we were going to be greeted as "liberators" !! so WTF ?!!

I re-read now I know what you mean.
What I mean by walk over is Saddams million man army which I mentioned. The insurgency is what kept the US there for so long in which case they had no planning for.

If I remember correctly the US did not think the insurgency would happen that fast - in fact they thought the US could stabilize the new government before tribal mentality sets in ?
IMO; The insurgency started right after Saddam was captured.
I remember it starting very early like within 2-3 weeks (maybe 1 month) when the Iraqis hung those contractors from the bridge in Bagdad, I think it started before Saddam was captures (2-3 months later)... yep I was right... Invasion March 20th, Saddam captured Dec 14th... > 8 months later. Insurgency started long before that. But it is hard to remember exact timelines 10 years later.

Yeah, you could be right ?
We do know that the lotting started almost immediately which the US was not prepared for that - they thought the other crimes like the hanging you mentioned was related to gangs of thuds or revenge killings via Iraqi ex-military. Anything but insurgents.
