If we would have kept the Iraqi army intact (and employed) instead of snapping their swords in half, ripping off their buttons, and sending them home, the insurgency would have been 1% of what it became. We lost Iraq right there--with that one decision. It was so stupid. Even during the very worst of it, the insurgency was 10% hard-core fighters and 90% guys trying to earn a living by shooting at us and planting IED's. If we had kept the Iraqi army intact THEY would have sorted that 10% out for us. Stupid decision by Paul Bremmer and the CINC.
