Iraq has a tremendous amount of history.

Iraq is going to go down as one of the greatest blunders in American history.

There's a lot of revisionist history that goes on these days about Iraq.

We cannot undo the past in this misguided war in Iraq.

The reality is that we have missed a lot of opportunities in Iraq because of a failed policy.

Bush does not want to go down in history as the president who lost in Iraq. His strategy to the extent he has one is to hang tough and let whoever succeeds him take the fall.

Never underestimate the ability of political leaders to misread history on a monumental scale. The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan have both served to hasten western decline: they have both failed to achieve their objectives and in the process demonstrated an underlying western impotence.

History will eventually depict as legitimate the efforts of the Iraqi resistance to destabilise and defeat the American occupation forces and their imposed Iraqi collaborationist government.

History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history.

Reasonable people can differ on whether or not we should have gone into Iraq.
