Do you have any reason to believe the intelligence community DID believe the Iraqi military was prepared for a fight?

Is there evidence to that they thought the Iraqi military was woefully unprepared for a fight? We'd given them all sorts of arms and technology, after all.Originally posted by Cow Poke View Post

I believe that the military and our intelligence service thought that the withdrawal timeline -- especially announced in advance -- was a mistake, in addition to the failure to negotiate a status of forces agreement. Giving them "stuff" is not the same as certifying them mission capable.Originally posted by Spartacus View Post

I thought it was golf. And there are so many appropriate terms like duffer, mulligan, double and triple bogey, choke, downswing, whiff, shank, lie... and one that just sounds like it's begging to be co-opted into politico-speak: Coefficient of RestitutionOriginally posted by Spartacus View Post
