The American people have decided that it was a mistake to choose to go to war in Iraq.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I want to tell you that I think this war is a great mistake.
I thought Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time and have been fighting to get the Administration to stop its failed policy and bring our troops home.
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
Reasonable people can differ on whether or not we should have gone into Iraq.
This war of choice in Iraq is undermining the very fabric of American society.
Those allies who failed to join us will regret it. They're making a mistake.
Conventional wisdom holds that setting a timetable for getting American troops out of Iraq would be a mistake.
We were in opposition to the decision to go to war. But after the war happened, it was clear that you could not sit and look-there would be a breeding ground for terrorism or a new collapsed or failed state named Iraq!
We went into Iraq because Saddam Hussein refused to account for his weapons of mass destruction, consistently violated UN resolutions and in a post-9/11 world no American president could afford to give Saddam Hussein the benefit of the doubt.
It is now conventional wisdom that Americans do not care why we went to war in Iraq, that it is enough that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein.
