Most talk about Iraq centers around the Bush administration, which, has performed dismally as commander in chief. But, just as true, is that Congress gave Bush the power to strike Iraq, a congress that is using the Iraq debacle for political gain.
Back in 2002, prior to the vote in the Senate giving the authority to the Bush administration to invade Iraq, a CIA report was made available on Iraq'a wmd capabilities, and, ties to terror organizations that had complicity in 9/11. The report was top secret, so, as a safeguard, only the Senators themselves could read the 100 page report, no staff could review the document. ONLY SIX SENATORS BOTHERED TO READ THE REORT. The report had serious reservations about clearly assigning Iraq wmd capabilities, and, seriously questioned any ties to Al Qaeda, which, have borne out to be true.
Fact is, our representatives dismally failed America in an hour of troubling need!

Yes. Both parties are at fault for that quagmire that is now an Iraq civil war.

Right now, that is irrelevant...
thinking about the past, and making regrets, and all the what if´s don´t do anything to help the current situation....
it may help us avoid similar situations in the future, but as of now... we need to focus on stabilizing Iraq, the region, defeating terrorists etc....
we can analyze it to hell after wards.... there are people still analyzing the Civil War for christs sake. lets finish the job, and afterwards, we´ll see who was right, who was wrong, who messed up and who fixed it......
because in the end, we MUST stabilize and try to bring peace to this country.....

Bush lied to Congress by potential of witholding opposite evidence, and the regular public develop into as quickly as already whipped right into a frenzy. the human beings on your record have been railroaded now no longer the different course around.

Undoubtedly, "Yes"...
It was more an ill-placed knee-jerk reaction to 9/11 in an attempt to placate ignorant US citizens (who happen to be voters).
keep in mind, politicians only want what is best for them (remaining in power) and have no concern for the populace they supposedly represent.

The invasion wasn't even necessarily the problem. The problem is that now our troops are over there, floundering, trying to fight a legitimate war against something that is, quite literally, invisible: hatred.
