way of putting it, by Mark Steel, discussing the ways his government
is handling the wounded returnees in todays Independent:
Throughout the coverage of the fifth anniversary of the war, there
have been discussions around the "mistakes" made in planning the
occupation. But the government's attitude towards those whose lives
have been wrecked for their vanity project shows the problem wasn't
"mistakes", in the execution of the plan, but the whole project.
Unless they'll claim, "When we began this operation, whoever could
have anticipated that when we invaded the country, some of these chaps
would start firing back? I mean – we can't predict everything now, can
we?"
Yep, that about covers it....
