I believe that the invasion of Iraq was a huge mistake by Bush. I don't believe that the decision was based on oil or Halliburton profits or any other left wing conspiracy theory. It was based on bad judgement, bad intel, and bad faith on the part of Bush and the neo-cons.
None of which has any bearing whatsoever on the mistakes of this administration or the incompetence of this president.
