We had the correct information long before the war. The Bush administration choose to ignore it.
http://www.nbc6.net/news/10243429/detail.html#WASHINGTON -- The U.S. government was tipped off years ago that invading Iraq would likely be problematic.
A series of secret war games in 1999 predicted that an invasion of Iraq would require 400,000 troops, and even then chaos might ensue.
In its "Desert Crossing" games, 70 military, diplomatic and intelligence officials assumed the high troop levels would be needed to keep order, seal borders and take care of other security needs. The game also predicted that "a change in regimes does not guarantee stability."
