Which Bush did.
The problem he has is:
1) he was unjustified in going into Iraq, and they've failed to justify the
reasons they used.
2) Iraq was not a country overrun with extremist muslims. It is now. Some
Americans are dumb enough to believe what they're told one minute and
forget what they were told the minute before but most people around the
world are a little sharper than that. We've made everything much, much
worse in Iraq and the region, including crippling Iran's traditional "cold war"
opponent. We've set theocratic Iran, not secular Iraq, up as the power in
the region. Now we have to deal with that one.
