The pre-emptive nature of the Iraq War is precisely what many on the Left have made the centerpiece of their complaint.

Forget whether they are on the Left, Right or Middle, but I think you are missing the reason some people object to the 2nd Iraq war (which ended long ago). It is not solely because the war was pre-emptive; rather, the objectors believe the threat posed by Saddam did not justify a pre-emptive war. In hindsight, they appear to have been correct.

And I repeat, any President that can convince himself there is a serious threat to the US will remove that threat, regardless of what the UN thinks. Objections to George in this regard rest mainly on his low bar for determining what constitutes a threat.
