"When did everyone decide to agree that the war in Iraq was a mistake? '

For me, the dawn came when it became apparent there were no WMDs to speak of. The ongoing civil war just nailed down the realization that invading Iraq without conquering it was a mistake.

I generally agree with that statement.

I believe the invasion was predicated on sloppy intelligence, and compounded with short-sighted planning.

I think taking down Saddam was the right thing to do but now we are being caught up in the thousand year old emnity between two Islamic murder cults-Sunnis and Shiites-with nothing but more carnage on the horizon.
My biggest pet peeve on FR is that when you critisize the war in Iraq you always get people jumping all over you equating you with Jane Fonda,ANSWER,John Kerry,etc.Nonsense.I refuse to be boxed in like that.Its like saying because I like trains that run on time so I must be a Mussolini supporter.
OK,not a good analogy but you get the point!
