If you play with fire, you will get burned. On both sides, the US and Iraq. The Bush administration was very well aware of the fact that there would be resistance from militant groups such as the Shiite. But these people (the resistance) are just plain stupid, do they honestly think they can fire on US Marines without any repercussions? Its like swinging a bat at a bee hive and hoping they wont sting.
But i'm also sure that Bush will mark this under his "bad intelligence" file
