I am a strong supporter of OIF, and defend GWB's Iraq policies fiercely whenever I hear anyone spouting moonbat talking points about it. Unfortunately, the White House didn't show the same amount of zeal in its defense. IMO, the treasonous 'Rat/DBM propaganda that was spread about Iraq eventually became accepted as fact by a majority of voters and was the biggest reason for the 2006 and 2008 electoral debacles.
The inability of the Bush Admin to adequately make the case for the Iraq war will no doubt be remembered by honest historians (if any exist) as one of its biggest failures.

Yes, but it needed lots of bodybags to get actual traction. They never came, thank God.
I’m with you on this though.
A guy working for a contractor moving equipment from Iraq to Afghanistan explained our presence in Iraq very well. He said that when you play tic-tac-toe and get the first move, you always start in the center square for obvious reasons.
Iraq is the center square.
