TIA, you mean something like this:

Teribus - 26th October 2002 - Thread BS: Bush, Iraq War Part 7:

"With respect to brush-fire wars and limited action conflicts, the United States of America has never understood Templeton's philosophy of "Hearts and Minds", and because it is not understood it can never be effectively implimented. That is why you tend to leave situations having achieved short term objectives without achieving long term aims."

On the other hand:
- We have had no "Stalingrad" scenario as predicted by Bobert.
- We have had no "Heads on Sticks" as predicted by Bobert.
- MNF casualties are not in the tens of thousands as predicted by Bobert.
- Counter to the predictions of the all-knowing anti-war brigade. The CPA was replaced by an Interim Iraqi Government and disbanded on schedule time.
- Counter to the predictions of the all-knowing anti-war brigade a draft constitution for Iraq was agreed upon.
- Counter to the predictions of the all-knowing anti-war brigade the Interim Government held elections and stood down to be replaced by the duly elected government of Iraq.
