Insurgencies take a long time to build, and long and continual social discontent before they become viable at all.
Having massively reduced the Iraqi standard of living in his seven months, then Bremmer cut out of town - secretly. Leaving a massive insurgency in Iraq that killed most of the 4,400 American soldiers. Your right. It took a very long seven months to create that insurgency.
