2. No, it will go down in history as an unprovoked invasion and occupation.

The last war that the USA fought was WWII. It was officially declared.

4. Iraq was a war, not authorized constitutionally by Congress, and now it

is an occupation.

Wish the Dem's would start calling it such, but that might politically harm them. Maybe best to wait until after we sweep the House, the Senate and the Presidency to do that.
