It was not Bush, alone.

For instance, Obama's own choice for his SOS:

"In the four years since the inspectors left,
intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild
his
chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery
capability,
and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and
sanctuary
to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members...


It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will
continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical
warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he
succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security
landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well, effects
American security.


This is a very difficult vote, this is probably the hardest decision
I've ever had to make. Any vote that might lead to war should be
hard,
but I cast it with conviction."

Addressing the US Senate

Yup, as always there was the dumbass yankee public egging him on. Not
to mention religious zealots like Blair. Anyone who voted for that
war, or voted for anyone voting for that war should be summarily
shot. That would clear up so many of the world's problems, present
and future, so easily. Would create loads of jobs too!

We replaced a government ran by Sunnis with a government ran by
Shiites. The Sunnis in Iraq are now at the mercy of the Iraqi Shiites
and their Shiite brothers in Iran.

That's democracy, the Shi'ites are in the majority.
But that's why democracy doesn't always work, and certainly not in
Iraq.

Excerpts:

"Today I am signing into law H.R. 4655, the "Iraq Liberation Act of

freedom at
home. I categorically reject arguments that this is unattainable due

Iraq's history or its ethnic or sectarian make-up. Iraqis deserve and
desire freedom like everyone else. The United States looks forward to
a
democratically supported regime that would permit us to enter into a
dialogue leading to the reintegration of Iraq into normal

How quiet the Kurds are. When the Americans finally
depart does anyone really think they will allow themselves
to be governed by a Shi'ite dominated government?
