I don't think he was damned if he didn't. There was no real compelling case to go into Iraq at that time. I'm not saying that there wasn't any good reason to go into Iraq. There were some good reasons but there was nothing that was absolutely compelling. I don't think Saddam was that big of a threat at the time. I am partially speaking in hindsight though. If they really thought he was getting close to developing nuclear weapons(we now know that he wasn't), I can see why they thought they needed to go in.

I remember at the time when I heard they were talking about going into Iraq, I was kind of surprised. I totally understood them going into Afghanistan and I totally favored that. I didn't know why they wanted to go into Iraq but I figured they must know what they're doing. I figured that they must know something that I don't know. It turns out that they didn't.
