The second Iraq war was about several things"
1. bad intel about WMDs
2. revenge for Saddam's attempted hit on Bush 41
3. oil
It was a waste of american lives and money. But to say that Bush did it all on his own is partisan bullshit. Congress, the UN, the EU, UK, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia et al believed the bad intel and supported the war. The US congress authorized and funded it. THEY ALL HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.
History needs to record this accurately, hopefully it will.
You're forgetting allowing Dick Cheney to get rich on no bid Halliburton contracts.
The war was a proper response and absolutely necessary. The international community would have had zero credibility letting Saddam get away with the shit he was doing. As it is we've squandered the credibility by losing the victory in Iraq and runnign out of Afghanistan.
