The Iraq catastrophe had more to do with the aftermath. About Obama deserting the effort allowing the situation to deteriorate as it did, which is precisely what he intended. The election of Barack Hussein Obama was mainly the result of the slime ball liberal-leftist media attacking GW while pumping up and covering for BHO. They buried or totally ignored mountains of evidence of how dangerously far left he was, and still is.
The media covering up Obama’s leftism, and the failure to successfully use our military to achieve victory over our enemies who caused or facilitated the attacks on New York and Washington are unrelated to one another, except that Bush’s failure to design and prosecute war on our enemies was the cause of Obama as a national figure to begin with.
For me the fine point was W arguing that Saddam have “reinvigorated” his WMD program. Way different than he had stuff we gave him.
