Lol.  I saw that.  My opinion of the invasion of Iraq is different.  It was justified and should have been done the moment they broke the terms of the cease-fire agreement.  Strategically, it was a better place for us to be than Afghanistan.  Iraq has an educated population that, for the most part, is not Islamist.  A big base there would have been a deterrent to Iran.  Negotiations with Iran (not that I think they would ever work) would have meant more with our jets flying around making big sonic booms along their border.

Afghanistan should have been a bunch of MOABs and done in a few days.

Not sure his behavior after being caught means much.  I thought we were wrong for chastising the Iraqis who executed him when they celebrated.  They had a right to celebrate.

Where we screwed up was in the aftermath of taking him down.  We had a really good opportunity to form a lasting alliance there.  That does fall on Bush, his state and defense depts.
