It happens quite often that someone will wish he had done something else even though it was the right thing to do given the circumstances and information at the time.
Its amazing that they lied about WMD, killed a couple hundred thousand civilians, wasted a trillion dollars of our money, wasted 4,500 servicemen/women's lives, and left Iraq broken in chaos, and you give one of the responsible parties a pass like that. But you pin Obama's neck to the ground over a unfortunate red line comment. Partisan politics on full display.
Speaking of partisan politics, who lied about WMD??
A lot of people, and unfortunate for America, and more so for the people of Iraq, too many politicians allowed themselves to be confined to a position of support of something they didn't wholeheartedly support by a very pushy and forceful administration that worked tirelessly to paint anyone who opposed the invasion of Iraq as anti-American, unpatriotic, pro-dictatorship and terrorist. Leaving people in fear for their careers. Unfortunately, politicians all put that in front of anything else. In recent years, some have expressed the pressure they were under, though for me, it doesn't excuse them.
So you have nothing. fair enough.
... If you cannot afford a dictator, one will be appointed by the court. We would appreciate your cooperation and expect a complete cessation of exercising of any rights.
Good day.

Isn't the WMD thing kinda tricky? We found less chemical weapons in Syria than Iraq and it was claimed a WMD. The same materials in a greater quantity were found in Iraq, yet they were not WMDs. That is the one I will never get.
Well, mainly when George Bush told us of WMD he was talking nuclear weapons. Joe Wilson was dispatched to Niger to confirm that Saddam Hussein had purchased yellow cake uranium and we were being frightened with imminent mushroom clouds over US cities.
