Let's not confuse objectives with selling points. Not a one of us can say what the objectives of this administration were or are - but only the short-term memory deficient among us can deny that the primary selling point was WMDs.
Which brings me to my next point, back on irate's topic:
I honestly had no idea whether Iraq had WMDs. I certainly didn't believe Saddam and I certainly didn't believe this administration. So, in fact, the existence or non-existence of WMDs had absolutely no bearing for me in regards to my opinion that this war was wrong. Which means, even if we HAD found WMDs, I would still consider this war, by it's very existence, to have been a failure.
See how far apart we are?
Now try and tell me again why I'm supposed to think we've been successful.
(As an aside, I'm getting tired of conservatives complaining about people blaming Bush + Co. He's the President, he's the spokesman for guiding policy. I vehemently disagree with the policies this administration has been enacting. I'm going to continue to blame Bush. Deal with it.)
