You go Bill! Damn right. Should have declared victory 3 years ago, and told the UN if they have any purpose at all, it is to rebuild a stable liberal democracy in Iraq. And tell the UN they better get a move on, because we're leavin' in two weeks.....

Hindsight is always 20/20. There have been a lot of mistakes in the prosecution of the war.

re: Bush made one monumental mistake in Iraq. He didn't declare victory and get out when we dug Saddam out of that ditch and after the Iraqis dipped their fingers in the blue ink. It was over then, it was won, and we could have gotten out cleanly. Bush made one monumental mistake after another wrt Iraq. The first was of course the original invasion. Second was disregarding the possibility of an insurgency, third was disbanding their military and fourth was marginalizing the Batthists/Sunnis. But it all starts with the Neocon vision that we are going to remake the ME and the world... a very unconservative concept. We've had a succession of very careful and mostly good Presidents in my lifetime, and the world was making steady incremental progress. That changed under Bush.
