My beloved compatriot Mr. Younghusband, while I’m glad you felt that Mr. Moore’s film was garbage, what was wrong with the arguments for invading Iraq? ... We both knew from the start that the whole WMD argument was silly, as was “bringing democracy to the Middle East.”Â?

Looks like you just answered your question. And strategy was never the problem. Iraq had to go, there were too many pros for not invading. But they could’ve carried it out much better. So strategy wasn’t the problem, tactics were. Like the number of avoidable scandals … As you said plans of attack tend to get FUBAR’d, but some of the on-the-fly decision-making … just makes you wanna cry. You’d think they would try to be extra sensitive since everyone wants them to fail.
