The real war in Iraq started AFTER the invasion. Of course after the invasion, Tweedledee. It's hard to start the war BEFORE the invasion. The point is the Iraq war ended within days of the statue of Saddam being toppled in the Bahgdad Square. That's when the former regime lost 99% of its capacity to lead the country. I think the "war" portion of the Iraq campaign lasted all of four to five weeks or so. As for poor execution in the "stabilization and nation building" campaign, you're preaching to the quire. I mean choir. Just try to use accurate rhetoric from now on. Contries fight wars with each other (WW2). Countries fight civil wars against domestic unified rebel groups (US civil war). Local populations fight wars against outsiders trying to colonize them. Rebel groups sort of fight wars against each other (Rwanda genocide). Countries don't fight wars against fanatical terrorists that drop in from Saudi Arabi to blow up themselves and ten school kids, unless you want to redefine what "war" means.
