...Good post. I'll just add in my view it wasn't an over reach in as much as a poorly executed plan AND a naïve and PC view of the mentality over there. We should have gone in with at least 300K men vice the 140 that went in, that way we could have HELD as we pushed the Iraqi Army back and kept all the war material away from the ensuing insurgency. Also, we should have kept the Army hierarchy INTACT, giving them a good command and control structure to build on and lastly and perhaps most crucial, is this trying to foist democracy on a people that simply do not possess the acumen to grasp it and instead just kept the country ruled along tribal lines in the British model..... Damn that Shinseki! He should have warned us!  What the hell could a West Point graduate with 4 stars, 3 Bronze Stars for Valor and 2 purple hearts know, that a Wyoming Congressman with 5 draft deferments doesn't? Or a frat boy from the the Texas Air Guard with a bomber jacket? Or Rummy? Sometimes you don't know what you don't know? Pathetic! Sycamore
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

Fine Clinton could have and should have! The OP is about the Iraq [bleep]. Just can't connect the dots can ya, not surprising given your posting history. SACommie isn't interested in connecting dots. That would imply he has the ability to comprehend logic, order, or justice. All SACommie and his ilk are interested in is taking away the things others have worked for.

Iraq should be an uninhabitable piece of glass today along with several other countries in the middle east. We need to get back to where when we fight a war or attack we do it to win.

You must have been in another world, the UN was never for going to war. And as to daily reports of obstruction, maybe and only if you were listening to FOX!
The whole point is that is was all over information that Bush new was false.
Not to mention that even after the war nothing was found that hadn't been destroyed and/or rendered inactive and useless for any military purpose since the 91 gulf war.
A lot of hype about information from a defected scientist even the CIA had reported to be a fraud and had no use for, but Bush had a use for him and even got him to appear before Congress.

To believe a Liberal actually wants us to win any conflict, is simply comical.
Apparently, the Bush/Cheney misdirection plan still hasn't reached its expiration date.
