1999 war games foresaw problems in Iraq - USATODAY.com
by Mike the Usurper at 8:52 pm EST, Nov 5, 2006

The war games looked at "worst case" and "most likely" scenarios after a war that removed then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from power. Some are similar to what actually occurred after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003:

•"A change in regimes does not guarantee stability," the 1999 seminar briefings said. "A number of factors including aggressive neighbors, fragmentation along religious and/or ethnic lines, and chaos created by rival forces bidding for power could adversely affect regional stability."

“I don’t think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees.”

Well George, you were about as right about Katrina then as you were right about Iraq in general. Why don't you do us all a favor, go back to Crawford, take your party of schmucks with you and let the adults try to clean up your mess.
