Iraq was and is Bush's Mess

What kind of addition to the Shrub's Comic Book Library does this current crisis in Iraq justify? I was thinking an exhibition of a permanent tire fire.

We have had no agreement with the Iraqi government since then. We have no moral or any other type of obligation. Anything that happens is a conscious decision by the CIC. The OP is an attempt to give cover to another military adventure, this time on the lines that "Bush made me do it."
