But the energy lobby in DC got the better of Bush and along with those folks he launched the attack on Iraq. Another reason, judging from some of his public utterances, is that Saddam tried to assassinate his father. So there is some personal vendetta also involved here.

Seems to me there is a lot of "dot connecting" going on, without substantive evidence, in these scenarios. If there was substantive evidence, an impeachment would be on the cards - it is not (yet).

I tend to agree that the post hostility part of the conflict leaves more than a bit to be desired, but one has to work with what one has got - both in terms of the situation on the ground, and in terms of US resolve to stay the course. Time will tell.

Many months ago, I have been on record on SI, saying this conflict will take at least 1 generation of Iraqis to resolve. I stand by that statement today.
