The Command Post - Iraq - 37 Coalition Troops Killed in Operation Dawn

Who would have thougt Falluja would not be thoroughly pacified by now? Back in April The White House said THIS in regards to Iraqi Security Forces battling the insurgency. Who would have thought that 7 months later we would be suffering 80% more battle fatalities than the Iraqi's?

Who would have thought Iraqi security forces would up and switch sides to the north in Mosul as mentioned HERE?


Who would have thought that Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Sheik Abdullah al-Janabi would have escaped as mentioned HERE?

After Rumsfeld told a news conference, "Innocent civilians in that city have all the guidance they need as to how they can avoid getting into trouble," who would have thought children would be getting slaughtered?

"There aren't going to be large numbers of civilians killed and certainly not by U.S. forces," Rumsfeld said. Who would have thought the man would be so wrong?

Who would have thought that "our" Harvard MBA president, who had estimated the costs for this war to be around $50 - $60 billion (less than Gulf War I), would miss the mark by $200 billion or so?

Actually, anybody who thought any of these thougts aloud in the presence of "our" president was likely fired.
