Ok, most of this is in response to Dostoevsky, and all of it it IMHO:
Bush took advantage of the situation provided to him by 9/11, I know what he said before attacking Iraq, but there was never any solid tie between the terrorists that attacked the US, and what he wanted to do over there- he was just using America's collective fear of more attacks to run his own agenda.
Anyone remember the "they tried to kill my daddy" speech?
Iraq was a way for Bush to get more money for "defense", grease his pal's palms, and bulldoze The PATRIOT Act into action.
As far as him continuing with an unpopular act, he never should have invaded without having all the facts (as they're now calling it in the media- I prefer the term "lies") in order.
Fickle? Nah, I never supported his actions from the beginning, I haven't changed my mind, either.
