When did America lose the war in Iraq? On the next Your call we welcome Guardian Senior Foreign Correspondent Jonathan Steele, author of Defeat: Why America and Britain Lost Iraq. Unlike critics who pin the failure on a lousy counter-insurgency plan or faulty intelligence, Steele traces America's failure to a single decision. The Bush Administration's arrogance and ignorance led to the disastrous plan to occupy Iraq. From that moment the failure was sealed. Could the invasion have worked if america had immediately withdrawn? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
