I can see this as being a Kerry point against Bush: "Look at how Bush is
mishandling the occupation, he is putting the Ba'athists in again and
abandoning the 'good work' of de-Ba'athification."  Of course it would be
our duty to explain that we are against the occupation equally, no matter
whether it tilts toward former Ba'athists, moderate Shi'i clerics, or
whomever.
