It's easy on hindsight, but evident from stage one that there was going to be little to gain in the foreseeable future.
Sure, it's also evident why the US wanted to start messing in the Middle East - and that had little to do with the purported reasons.
When ya got a guy repeating over and over stuff like "America has been attacked and we are are war defending ourselves" - it may have an effect on some, but the missing elements from that phrase are no mention of Iraq and the specific reasons for invading. Iraq never attacked the US - in fact, did not appear to give a toss about the US.
Dubya is trying with the repeated verbal - but others aleady used it years back - it's nothing new and he keeps trying to apply it to everything at the same time. Destined to fail - and already has failed.

Seriously AkiraSS, gotta agree the US ecomony and stuff at home is more urgent than any wars. The US has survived on credit/loans for several decades - like $700ish/billion/year - and this is just not sustainable. The Bank of China alone must be lending in the region of 2-3 billion/day. Wars just cost money and make one hell of a lot of enemies if they are not "just" and a payback time is a great possibility.
