Re. 77
1. technological disparity between US and Saddam did not justify such a long campaign. He unnesessarily prolongs it;
2. In a process he overburdened the military;
3. Syria, Iran, NorK, Lybia, Saudies, etc. were deadly scared after initial actions in A & I. He did everything to calm them down;
3. He allowed dems (and RINOs) to highjack his domestic policies, or may be his policies were like that all along and I just misread them from the beginning;
4. Anyway, huge run up in non-essential spending was on his watch; etc.
I think it’s enough.
