9. The goal was to get him before he got us
And we achieved that, even though the Bushies knew that he could never have "gotten" us in the first place. We freed Iraq from Saddam, we brought down the Iraqi government. Victory, end of story.

What came after that was a civil war with us in the middle. We can't win or lose someone else's civil war. We can, however, leave and let the two sides settle it themselves.
