...of what shameful blunders were committed in the execution of the catastrophic blunder that was the invasion of Iraq, I offer these words from "Iraq : The rise of the resistance", by Anne Alexander and Simon Assaf: "In early November 2004 US troops destroyed the city of Fallujah. Countless civilians and an untold number of resistance fighters perished in the assault. The city of mosques lay in ruins, but the rubble also buried US and British plans for a stable occupation. On the eve of the attack on Fallujah the military told the soldiers that they were facing their biggest battle since the assault on the Vietnamese city of Hue in 1968. Iraq had become America’s new Vietnam."
