This proves that Senator Obama has been right from the very beginning. Iraq is a huge distraction that has prevented the United States from destroying the terrorist organization that carried out the 9/11 attacks. Now, Bush is openly admitting failure, but also failing to do anything to remedy the situation. History will regard the invasion of Iraq as the greatest strategic blunder ever committed by any President of the United States.
