Defeat a foe of Iran, destabilize an oil producing nation, create a civil war?

Question

Was this our goal in Iraq, or, have things gone wrong?

Answer 1

The war in Iraq is very much misinterpreted due to propaganda of the anti-US groups based in many countries. Even in US, the Democrats are making a mockery of the war just because the invasion was declared by a Republican President supported by his party. The real score is this - it is a war against terrorism.

Answer 2

Are the Muslims still fighting each other?
Have the purchases of military equipment increased?
Has the stock prices of military supply companies gone up?

What makes you assume that was not plan?

Answer 3

This is what happens when the "decider" doesn't know WTF he's talking about. Mr. "fighter pilot" Bush didn't even fly past the U.S. border while other fighter jocks were doing missons in Veitnam. I think the only one in his adminstration who knew what it was all about(Colin Powell served in Vietnam) was forced out by Cheney and Bush their cronies. Cheney never served either, multiple deferments during Vietnam. What a useless waste and terrible loss for familes EVERYWHERE.
