It's always a judgement call.

And my experience is, no matter which way you judge, someone will always complain.

read some of his quotes......he's stupid AND evil.

What are these aforementioned quotes???

imho, the mere subject of this thread makes it a mindless troll.

Both. He's one of those guys that talks with his mouth and listens with his mouth, because hey hes right no matter what the facts are. Even when no WMD were found he still insists Saddam was a danger. Ermmm how, exactly? We're talking about your average despot running his people like his unpaid personal flunkeys, but theres lots of more extreme examples of that in, say, Africa.

I just pity your poor troops (Im not American) stuck in Iraq for evermore trying to do the impossible after the war in extremely dangerous situation. If I was them or their family I'd be pretty pissed at the lack of foresight - and even hindsight - displayed by the so called 'intelligence'

I am pretty impressed with the fact that 80% of IRaq has democratically elected local leaders, power, electrcity, and paid police and paid a paid army. Too bad that the resistance in two cities, by former baath party members that are fighting against their elite status going bye bye, is all that makes the American papers.
