22. I suspect we could have won the war, the real crime is that it was the wrong war....
... had we not conducted the war incompetently, had we sent people in in sufficient numbers with the proper equipment, had we not started rounding up innocent Iraqis and torturing them, had we put Iraqi's to work rather than American corporations, if we handn't run into Iraq acting like Yosemite Sam....

We might have won.

But that still wouldn't change the fact that it was the wrong war to be fighting in the first place.

To me that's the ultimate mistake, to take lives without reason.
