However, I don't see how you can fault Bush for removing Saddam AND fault the U.N. for failing to do so. Are you talking about Bush's inability to reconcile the means with the end? I have never faulted Bush for removing Sadddam. I mean, Sadddddam. My main objection to his performance in Iraq has been the post-major combat operations phase. This part of the Iraq campaign appears to have had minimal planning, and could have been done much much better than it has gone so far. If you are going to mount the largest US military operation in 2-3 decades, you'd think he would have prepared for the post-combat portion more than we have seen. Removing Saddam was a piece of cake than ANY US president could have achieved. You have to ask yourself when evaluating Bush whether or not he has executed well in Iraq given that removing Saddam was never really in doubt. I think he has done quite poorly.
