No, I was merely pointing out that Netanyahu could not have been more wrong about the ramifications of taking out Saddam, so I will not blindly believe that his analysis is accurate.

Don’t you think that it was more likely that we screwed up the planning and follow-through in Iraq? Taking out Saddam was good and necessary - sort of like it was good and necessary to wipe out nazism. We were in no way prepared for maintaining the mission and control after seizing Baghdad and the handoff to civilian diplomats guaranteed failure.

Netanyahu is absolutely right and if you’re at all honest, you know it.
