I'm not surprised you predicted the biggest problem, as a small minority did at the time, that there was either a bad, or no-plan, for after the invasion.

Today, far from surprised, we expect Americans to get killed (in Jordan) by groups operating in Iraq. We know that the U.S. government is hiding what's going on, which is probably much worse than reported.

I feel the public cares even less today than it did then. So I expect the consequences to be worse too.
