While there is not much to disagree with in that piece, it omits a critical point. We had been at war with Saddam since 1991. Although the mainstream media had long before abandoned the story, Saddam's forces were regularly engaging our aircraft, which were duly authorized by UN resolutions to patrol the no fly zone. Furthermore, Saddam's refusal to comply with the provisions of the 1991 cease-fire agreement meant that our continued military presence was necessary there.

It's easy to question Bush's decision to invade, but without proper context, some of the criticism is over the top.
