It seemed to be part of a larger strategy to defeat on the battlefield what President Bush termed the "Axis of Evil." But the plan went awry by being bogged down in Iraq due to any number of miscalculations, the worst being having little clue on the number of troops required to bring peace after winning the war.

This is a civilian military action, and hardly qualifies to be a war. It is more like an endless series of amateur bombings and vandalism.
The US does not want to end this war because somebody with connections to government is making too much money off it at taxpayer expense. If the US wanted to end the war there would not be a single building left standing and most of the popualtion would be dead. This is taxpayer-funded profit for the likes of Haliburton.

The United Nations, Congress, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards,Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Jay rockefeller, Joe biden, Harry Reid, Madeline Albright, all voted for us to go in to Iraq.
President Clinton was another one that said we need to go in to Iraq.
Saddam did have wmds as he gassed 180,000 Of his own people with mustard gas.

To call this President Bushs war is in err.
He has kept us safe since 9-11 and gas is not 10.-20 bucks a gallon....

I do believe that the war in Iraq was in retaliation for 9 -11
we had to hit somebody didn't we ?
so Bush looked for the easiest target it didn't matter if the hijackers were from Iraq or not we just had to kill somebody.
But Bush misunderestimated the cost in Lives and money in Iraq.
that is the price we paid for having a Republican in the White house.

It worked out great for Bush, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Blackwater, Halliburton and the like. Didn't do much for the average US citizen except devalue the US dollar making things such as gasoline cost more.

The neoCons wanted this war and they got it.
Now why don't they want to win it?
