This is one of the few things Obama can legitimately blame on Bush. This thing was lost the moment it started with no clear idea of what the objective truly was. Can't blame this on Obama. There was no fix to this mess. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyIt doesn't occur often but occasionally we do agree. Iraq was a Shrub/Darth Cheney disaster from the get-go!
