Nick if you assume the reason for gonig to war was WMD, then it looks like a fuck up.

If you see it as the US securing a base of operation to stablize a region of vital importance, to be near the precious oil for long term ecnomics - it is BRILLIANT!

More then one President, Prime Minister has thought about getting into the oil fields on the middle east.

Bush has pulled it off, pretty effortlessly ( militarily speaking), and there has not been a huge "arab street" counter...

Iraq is about oil, stabilization of middle east, putting pressure on saudi arabia, the WMD and getting ride of a tyrant are nice window dressing.

If Saddam had kept playing ball with the US, he would still be in power.
