Maybe the timing was wrong, but the war is good. I think no one thought for sure that it would turn into the front line in the war on terror....
who said iraq had the 4th biggist army?? thats a crock
The point is simple, in both wars with Iraq there was no imminent threat, even though they told us there was, going to Iraq was a mistake because we never finished in Afghanistan and there has been almost no effort in looking for the real culprits, which are Osama and his lackeys. The biggest mistake was rushing to war with Iraq, right when Bush had the go-ahead, he went right for it, fudge international support to "defend our country" rofl.
The "BUT WE FREED THE PEOPLES OF IRAQ" bullshit is nothing more than an excuse, the timing for liberation of a dictatorship couldn't have come at a worst time, and you have to admit that. If we *really* wanted to free the Iraqi people, Bush's dad would've done it long ago, he had the chance and decided not to take it. He probably made the right decision too, since he probably knew what he was going to get himself into. I mean, just look at what's going on in Iraq today, the war isn't over, not really, and they (government officials) say it's just going to get worse.
edit: Again, I'm not saying it was necessarily a bad thing that we freed Iraq from Saddam's regime, I'm just saying this was not the time to do it.
