Before Bush invaded more Americans opposed the war than supported it.
Nearly everyone on the planet opposed the war.
Most military people opposed it.
Powell opposed it.
Politician were, unfortunately, getting their news from the stenographers of the press, who reported lies as truth, and felt they'd be attacked as terrorists if they opposed the war, so they didn't.
Every HUMAN opposed the war. We still do.
We've been joined by the ranks of the deluded, who have switched to opposing the war. Too bad they hadn't a clue when it really mattered.
Sorry, I don't have a list or link to a list. The Bush administration squelched opposition to their loathsome war.
You could paw around the archives of Informed Comment, Juan Cole's blog.

Bush's fiasco in Iraq grew to become into the main deplorable distant places coverage decision in our united states of america's historic past. McCain remarked that he could be keen to pass away our troops in Iraq for a hundred years--later backtracking on the remark, making a bogus assessment of Iraq to Japan and Germany after WWII. Leaving our brave adult males and girls folk in Bush's quagmire will in basic terms embolden Iran better than ever and be the excellent recruiting gadget for destiny terrorists. 3 trillion money is the conservative estimate for Bush's mess ups, to not point out the 1000's of hundreds killed and injured, and McCain seems to be waiting to attack Iran. Very ominous certainly.

It's out there somewhere.
A list of all the Dems and Republicans in congress that voted to allow the Pres to go to war. They were all on board when everyone was hot to trot and looking for some payback for 9/11/01 but as history has shown us time and time again "Fatigue makes cowards of us all". Good thing this bunch wasn't around for WWII or we would all be eating rice cakes and wiener schnitzel!
You can bet the bad guys got our number.

Most ppl did not know that the Israeli government prayed for the attack on Iraq, which has eliminated the strategic threat posed by Iraq. America was pushed into the war by a group of Neo-Conservatives, almost all of them Jews, who had a huge influence on the White House. In the past, some of them had acted as advisers to Binyamin Netanyahu. Iraq war was Israeli lobby war and so is the next war on Iran

I would like to see people admit to this, I have found that Republicans are rarely if ever going to admit they are wrong. They act as though everything Bush does is better than if God Himself did it. They do anything and everything before they admit making a mistake. I'd be very surprised if you see more than a few people admit to this.
Bush has surprisingly started indicating it was a mistake, but never in those words.
I never thought Saddam was stupid enough to have a stockpile of weapons, that's why so many of us and most of the world opposed the war. It was a mistake, a bad investment, and did far more bad than good. Period.

I never supported it. It`s nice that Saddam is out of office. But, we never had any legal right to be there to begin with..
I think its way pass time to bring our troops home. It was never about finding nukes it was just about the oil...

The entire Democratic Party wanted Saddam out of power and KNEW he had WMDs.
Then a Republican got into power and they changed their tune very quickly.
