Just because Saddam wasn't in power anymore, you esentially have thousands of Bathist loyalists in power-holding positions. Most of the broken up Saddam-loyal military men disapated throughout the country regrouping into small insurgency elements. Just because you don't have a leader doesn't mean you don't have an enemy.

When Bush declared this, we did indeed have control of Baghdad but elements of the army and other pro-Saddam militia and citizens were in complete control over towns and regions of Iraq. The mission wasn't accomplished. This little stunt by Bush was complete glittery propaganda and the fact that you were fooled by it, and continue to be fooled by it even after it has been accepted fact by the general military, people, and government that it wasn't accomplished; is just very very sad.

Talk about blind servitude. You my friend are what true American presidents called undemocratic and morally treasonous onto the United States and its people.
