The Bush administration launched the invasion of Iraq despite knowing full well that it was going to end in a disastrous quagmire. They peddled a bunch of delusional propaganda to the American public to hide this.

If that doesn't constitute a "war crime" (just as it was when LBJ and McNamara did the same thing in Vietnam), then I don't know what to tell you.

Incorrect. The Bush admin launched the invasion knowing it was a 20+ year commitment and they made no bones about it. The “long war”, remember?. And they knew that if the commitment wasn’t there, then it would be a disaster. All the allies and players committed. Then, after the fact, Barky reneged. There were also many who committed that later cried uncle from the pain. “I was for the war before I was against it” BS. Right or wrong, we and allies committed. But when you walk away from the commitment, or half ass anything, failure will probably find you.

Lack of commitment is a constant problem and concern with our four and eight year cycling of government, but that’s just what we have to deal with.
