Which never called for an outright invasion.
But it did call for the removal of Saddam. how else would you do it, with the intell that was available, what else could have been done.......
It called for "regime change," which meant doing what we legally could in order to contain Saddam Hussein's tyranny. Unfortunately, our ground intelligence was weak and Saddam was able to manipulate distribution of oil by greasing the palms of politicians, better known as the oil for food ripoff. That said, after the invasion and capture of Saddam Hussein (indeed the sought after regime change by another means), we should have just left. Mission [truly] accomplished.
Now that I can mostly agree with. The war was not handled well, after the initial defeat of Iraqi military. I blame that on Bush listening to Rumsfeld for too long.
