There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that the Iraq War was one of the biggest mistakes in US history, and it did incredible damage to America and Iraq - economically, morally, and in the useless bloodshed and lives lost.

Saddam Hussein had NO connection to “jihad.” If anything, he held the jihadis in check in Iraq by brutally suppressing the Shiite majority. All of those reports of Saddam collaborating with jihadis were nothing but propaganda.
