How will we know when "all the facts" are known? The administration is clearly guilty of forcing an invasion of a relatively poor country (other than OIL) that couldn't fight back for no clear reason. FACT: Iraq did nothing to us. FACT: We invaded them. Who made the decision to do that? FACT: GWB and cronies. It happened on their watch, and all the ramifications are their responsibility. Don't get me started on the Congress.

The question is why? My opinion is: Excuse to establish a continuing military presence in the Mideast for the sole purpose of controlling the oil supply, either directly, or indirectly through governments friendly to us or scared of us. A second reason, to keep the Dollar and not the Euro as the major reserve currency. Both worthy goals, but not at the expense of killing tens of thousands of Iraqi innocents as well as the deaths of our own soldiers.
