I believe your post is a bit harsh, and probably not grounded in objective analysis. You leave out salient facts that were developed over several years including previous adminstrations, you leave out the vicious nature of the Hussein regime, and so forth.
: Bush is to Blame for Destroying Iraq
:
: Americans, Iraqis and the international
: community must hold Bush and Cheney
: responsible for the destruction of Iraq.
:
: With Iraq perched at the very precipice of
: an ethnic and sectarian holocaust, the utter
: failure of the Bush administration's policy
: is revealed with starkest clarity. Iraq may
: or may not fall into the abyss in the next
: few days and weeks, but what is no longer in
: doubt is who is to blame: If Iraq is
: engulfed in civil war then Americans, Iraqis
: and the international community must hold
: President Bush and Vice President Cheney
: responsible for the destruction of Iraq.
:
: The CIA, the State Department, members of
: Congress and countless Middle East experts
: warned Bush and Cheney -- to no avail --
: that toppling Saddam could unleash the
: demons of civil war. They said so before,
: during and in the aftermath of the war, and
: each time the warnings were dismissed. Those
: warnings came from people like Paul Pillar,
: the CIA veteran who served as the U.S.
: intelligence community's chief Middle East
: analyst; from Wayne White, the State
: Department's chief intelligence analyst on
: Iraq; and from two CIA Baghdad station
: chiefs who were purged for their analysis.
