Colin Powell called it right
and warned Bush, but Bush didn't listen. "You break it, you own it".
Bush's own father had it right in the first Gulf War. He could have
gone on to Baghdad, deposed Hussein, but he considered the possible
bad outcomes. He was right, jr was wrong.

Utter bull****.

Not really, it is actually a quite accurate depiction of what happened.
GHWB is on record making comments to that effect, I believe the word
"quagmire" was used to describe consequences of deposing Saddam when he
was asked why he didn't just roll on to Baghdad.
