2. That makes no sense.
In a war, there are no winners. Just one side loses more than the other. At least, that's the way it is when there is no privatization involved to give an organization an opportunity to skim off the profits. So, if you don't have the money to occupy a country after the initial battle is won, then it is a militarily a bad decision to fire the first shot.

So, in hindsight, it looks more and more each day that George Bush got us into a quagmire, in the most irresponsible of ways. He took a careless gamble with the future of our country, and at some point, people have to see that each day we stay there, is another bad gamble. This is a war that cannot be won. This is like trying to keep the titanic afloat with just a sardine can to bail out water.
