Wow! Was surprised to find this article from a former Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal and a former Contributing Editor of National Review, who was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the Reagan administration.
VDARE.com: 07/27/05 - Departing Iraq: "June 30, 2005, was the peak of neocon delusion. On that day American Enterprise Institute neocon Karl Zinsmeister posted his article on the AEI online site titled: 'The War is Over, and We Won.'"
No sooner than Zinsmeister put delusion to paper than US military commanders reported escalating and more sophisticated insurgency attacks. Casualties exploded with more deadly bombings, giving meaning to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld’s projection of a 12-year war. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the conflict’s cost may exceed $700 billion.
