President Bush took us into Iraq as his top priority in the War on Terror. During this escapade we haven't found any of these WMD. So either the administration did an awful job of identifying the risks, or they have allowed WMD to escape into the hands of terrorists. And now Iraq is a larger terror center than Afghanistan was before 9/11 . . . killing thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians is effectively breeding more terrorists than we are capturing or killing. Also making Iraq the priority has left Osama Bin Laden (the evildoer who actually attacked us on 9/11, in case you forgot - it seems that President Bush has) at large a full FOUR YEARS LATER. Clearly the war in Iraq has made the situation worse and cost us huge sums of money that could have been used on countless other valuable projects - actual disaster preparedness, levee improvement, intelligence, education . . . you name it.
