I dont expect agreement.

I expect a coherent logical argument.

you said The US did not disband the Iraqi army.

I said they did- and pointed to CPA order #2
(and Iwill admit most had already disbanded,
however US military commanders had planned on using them
to keep order & rebuild. Jay Garner even budgeted to keep them on the payroll. But Bremer put a stop to that)

YOu said, the order was meaningless purely administrative, crossing of boxes..

I said why even do it then?
Did the 'meaningless' CPA order #2 to disband
increase the odds of an insurgency? YES or NO

ditto for CPA #1 deBaathification -
(by instantly firing most of the professional class - who
needed to be Baath members to get anywhere and now cant feed their families, did order #1 increase the odds of insurgency? YES or NO

I dont expect you to agree with me.. convince me that both of those
orders werent the stupidest US military decisions in Iraq (among a host of others such as not having enough troops in the first place)
and they didnt lead to the Chaos in IRaq now..
