>>"So leaving immediately after toppling Saddam's government would have been OK?"

Please, let's not go from the sublime to the ridiculous. I said nothing of the sort. Please try to read what I write, not what you want me to have written.<<

Jim -

Pardon me for misconstruing this [emphasis mine]:

"When we invaded Iraq, we pretty conclusively whipped the entire government. It ceased to exist, and the government of Iraq quit fighting against us. So, the war ON Iraq was complete. We won. If we'd just left, right then, we could have brought our troops home to a confetti parade through Times Square."

I somehow thought that saying we could throw the troops a confetti parade in that event meant that it would have been a good thing. Silly me.
