If we had our shit together as far as intelligence goes, we would wouldn't be in this mess and yes goddamn it.... it is a mess.
We might have spent the money and the manpower in other ways to defend our country.
Never seen or heard of any ground war that wasn't a mess. Have you?
I'll be the first to admit this war is not easy, although looking at the big picture, it pales in comparison to almost every other war America has fought in.
But if we had not gone into Iraq, the problem would just have been pushed down a few more years, like it was last time. If there is one thing that both Kay and Duelfer agreed on during the inspections, it's that Saddam planned to construct WMD at the first opportunity, and I have seen nothing in the United Nations history of arms control that would make me think that agency could have done a damn thing about it. Look at Iran.
