I'd blame Chaney and Rumsfeld much more, even though GWB really was very
enthusiastic about it.  It confused the hell out of the generals and the
intelligence community, all of whom thought we were fighting Bin Laden
when they all had to do a complete turnaround and start fighting our ally.
It confused Saddam Hussein too, who thought the Americans were his ally
until the bombs actually started dropping.

But ... but ... but ... the Shrub /had/ to remove the blot on the
family eschuteon from his father's failure to remove Saddam in the
early 90s.

His good buddies, the Republicans, told him so.
