Sweet Victory
No weapons of mass destruction.
Saddam's still out there...like Osama.
No sign of the Iraqi terrorists, or if there ever were any.
No assurances that the rebuilding of Iraq won't turn into a boondoggle like Afghanistan.
But, hey! We knocked down a statue!
Don't get me wrong; the concept of Iraqis living free of an evil regime oughtta make everyone happy. But that was only one of 6 or 7 justifications for this invasion. And if the US Armed Forces is now the Globe-Roving Band of Oppressor-Eliminators, well, don't expect to see the boys home anytime soon. They have about 83 more countries to liberate.
But I'll give our Administration credit for learning one thing. If you keep changing the goals, you can claim victory over and over again...

While it may not be an atomic bomb, this ( http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/news/040703_NW_sarin_gas.html ) certainly leads one to believe that there's something out there. Besides, although no one in charge has said this, we know that he has chemical and/or biological weapons. We have proof. We have our copies of the receipts.

Yxylu - I totally agree that we oughtta know what Iraq has in the way of deadly weapons, when they bought them, and whether they paid cash or redeemed coupons.
Mike - you got me. One of the late nite talk shows last night showed touching footage of a Big Boy statue being levelled. It brought tears to my eyes.
