Bullshit.

Well, I watch more than one news station, not whatever tripe you're listening to.

I don't actually watch the news, because I am lazy, and because FX has two hours of Buffy on a day, so my viewing time (via video cassette) is all spoken for, but, going from newspaper webpages, I'd say I have seen very few mentions of "chaos in Iraq" that didn't also include "they're just blowing off steam" descriptions from the DoD.
Fortunately, it seems that some of the most impulsive post-Hussein snatch and grabs are over, but one worries about the future. And the past.

We need to take the Arab TVs 'the US has invaded Iraq, they are there to steal the oil', and the US TVs 'we are on plan and everything is great, other than they are blowing off steam', divide them evenly, and come up with 'we are on plan to steal their oil, but we do not want to rule your country'.
It all evens out in the end.

Afghanistan yesterday, Iraq today, Syria tomorrow, Iran on Monday, scold Saudi Arabi on Tuesday, then take a few days off to relax and let the supply lines catch up.... Each helping us forget the last....

But perhaps a few more will start rethinking that policy.

Perhaps not.
Unless, of course, you're implying those countries can expect to be invaded shortly, which would REALLY undermine your Resolution 1441 stance.

Well, 1441 was for Iraq, the others will have something we can think of, or create, either way. Heck, if we start thinking like they do we can even hold breathing against them, or the holding of different religious values, points of view, whatever works really.
