They call it a Quagmire
It happened in Vietnam, it's happening in Afghanastan, and now it's happening in Iraq...
But hey, this whole mess was deliberated on before...
"To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day hero ... assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an un-winnable urban guerilla war. It could only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability."
George H. W. Bush, 1998
