Yeah, GA, let’s ask how the CPA did.

Rather than copy the whole thing in, let me suggest you start by reading Chrenkoff’s Good News from Iraq series. But note, in passing, that Iraq’s power system is generating more power than ever before, their schools are running, their economy is booming, unemployment has dropped by 66 percent in a matter of months, and the CPA turned power over to a popular (in both senses of the word) government on time and apparently under budget.

After a military campaign comparable to Cannae and Zama in its brilliance, and with rather fewer civilian deaths than the usual UN peacekeeping expedition.
