It was for the reasons given at the time, including the reasons developed after we were in the shit.

BTW the situation while not great [it’s not great in Iraq since the Mongols leveled it] was not into hopeless war until Bremer’s patented power move of De-Baathification. This threw half a million dangerous people with ready access to plenty of munitions into the insurgency.
