No one with a working brain really expected Iraq to "turn out ok." The
entire exercise was a waste of American and allied lives and money, an
albatross that forever will hang around Dubya's neck.


The real mistake was made by GHWB. He should have walked away in 1991.
Clinton made the same mistake. GW compounded it by his LBJ type "gotta
win" philosophy. Maybe it is a Texas thing.



*The* mistake was made by Dubya, who was talked into invading Iraq and
staying there. Bush I got out in a hurry, and Clinton never went in.
