Watching Senator Biden this morning he claims to say that he was against dismantling the Iraqi army last year. I don't remember one person being against this last year. Now all these critics claim to have been against this dismantling. I still think it was a good idea to dismantle it and in the long run I think it was the correct choice.
Anyone who thinks that these terrorists that are fighting against the coalition would not be fighting if the army wasn't disbanded or the Baathists weren't tossed are just wrong. Bad guys don't go to terrorism because the US disbanded the army. This is the same mentality that says that 9/11 happened because of poverty. It's because of a fundamental belief. Now, some things can push them over the edge (I'm thinking of the current prisoner abuse) but there is a belief system in place that allows this to heppen.
