Every prediction/reason for NOT invading has become true. Destabilized Middle East, rise in terror recruits, sectarian violence, rejection of puppet government, resentment at being an occupying force, rejection of western "imposed" form of governance, quagmire, needless US troop dead, alienating allies, war profiteering.......etc yada yada yada......
As Colin Powell put it: "If you break it, you own it". IT IS BROKEN.
Bush is changing policy now for precisely that reason and has fired Rumsfeld as further proof. (If he was doing such a good job, why fire him?)
Either he was doing a lousy job, or Bush was just playing politics with troop lives and got rid of a good man for votes. One or the other. Can't have it both ways.
So why won't conservatives take ownership for their broken folly?
I think they are just digging a deeper hole for themselves. And our troops.
Immature, irrational, and deadly.
