Mistakes are unavoidable. The fact that we were (and still are) sabatoged by the Left has slowed us down more than any mistakes that we've made.

Yeah, that is true. I would say that if the rest of the world, including France and the entire UN were willing to contribute full help in Iraq, the problem would be over almost immediately.

It also didn't help that instead of just going in and taking out Saddam quickly, we got bogged down at the UN after we had already begun the threats and were building up for war. Iraq had ample time to prepare for our arrival.
