The grounds to go to war are up for debate. IMO what is not, is the horrible way in which the war was mismanaged. Rummy said you go to war with the army you have so either higher ups werent about to make the committment powell urged or rummy was to blame. Whatever it was from the mission accomplished moment everything went bad. I think now is the first time there is some light in iraq for some time but that doesnt justify a committment that never ends. Better to let the iraqis know that at some date certain we will start to leave. OIL was $28 per barrel when the war started. Now its at $135. Not to mention both the economic and human costs involved for americans.

Every surrounding country to Saddam was screaming he had WMD. Plus some ex-CIA operative with pull in D.C..

Why wouldn't you and Bush not let the weapons inspectors do their jobs?
