Three, it was a bungled war.

A bunch of nonsense. It was one of the most efficient, speedy, well executed wars in history. The coalition won, Saddam's regime lost (badly), and the main "bungling" was Saddam's foolish decision to fight rather than accept a life of wealthy exile in a neighboring Arab despot-led country.

If anything it is the post-war rebuilding activity in Iraq that is perhaps "bungled", with much of the blame for the "bungling" on the local population that has decided they would rather blow each other up via suicide car bombs than build schools.
