The war lacked a full commitment from congress meaning lacking a formal declaration of war and it lacked a clear "go in and destroy Iraq to the point of elimination of any future threat" military goal. The worst parts of Bush foreign policy was bringing radicals to GITMO and then not holding an immediate military tribunal. Next was the embedded media, The Baghdad Bob show, the cameras on our tanks and troops was a mistake. Leaving Iraq in any condition but no infrastructure was a mistake.
Just as many of us have said for over a decade long before Obama even ran that the next radical Islamic leaders in Iraq was going to get a shinny new fully equipped military to use against us yet again courtesy of our own government. You can not change the M.E/ Islamic culture. It's obvious you can't fix Stupid in government either.
Agreed
