The war was thrown away on June 8, 2004 with the acceptance of UN Security Council Resolution 1546 (2004). The Bush administration did not use the option to veto or prevent the passage of the binding resolution.
And all because Bush wanted to show that the Iraqis had a new government, and purple fingers, and a newly sovereign state, all in advance of his 2004 re-election.
It had nothing to do with what was best for Iraq and everything to do with what was best for George W. Bush.
