Why would anyone claim the Iraq war was a success ?

Because Iraq no longer poses a threat to anyone and saddam is dead.

Ohh, all the terrorists in Iraq are annihilated?? We were fighting the war there, according to Bush, so we wouldn't have to fight it here. Does this mean we can dismantle Homeland Security?:cuckoo:

It never posed a threat to anyone, least of all the U.S., and now it poses a threat to itself.

The tiny nation Iraq invaded, raped and pillaged would like to have a word with you.

Which would have been more than a decade before the Iraq war. Not to mention our ambassador basically giving Saddam the green light on that one.

The only reason Iraq was ever a theat was because it was armed by the West. But that threat was decimated in 1991. Saddam was not able to rebuilt his conventional weapons nor was he able to reconstitute his WMD program.


Iraq No Threat

Both Colin Powell, US Secretary of State, and Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's closest adviser, made clear before September 11 2001 that Saddam Hussein was no threat - to America, Europe or the Middle East.

Uhh... what happened under GWB was the continuation of hostilities as a result of violations of the terms of cease fire... it was the same conflict... unfortunately the pussy UN and our pussy leadership at the time, did not allow us to finish the job properly the first time around, else the whole second part of the conflict would not have been needed

The continuation under false pretenses.

Even 1 violation of the cease fire justified continuation of action... there were NUMEROUS violations along the way.... sorry Charlie... whether you want to focus only on partially faulty intel on WoMD is your choice... but there were validated violations continually over the years

Continuation of action wasn't justified because action in the first place wasn't justified. Nor was destroying their sewage system or imposing sanctions that killed innocent civilians and children.
