Iraq war a good thing?

It has been almost a decade since the war first started.

I have heard countless times that it was a war for oil, Bush's pride against Sadam, control of the middle east, big companies cashing in on anything war related, etc, etc.

But I have yet to hear anything good about the war. Is the country a much better place after all this time? What has improved? Something good must have come out of this right? Right?...

Great advances in IED and counter-IED technology.

Also we got to see Saddam get hung, that was pretty gnarly.

- about oil, is not a bad thing. there is no current alternative. About keeping Sadam from just taking it all the mid-east oil and gold, suddenly friends with Iran, Iraq turns to mess with even more of our Interests.

- Al Qk get a free pass thru Pakistan all the way to Malta.

- what we saw was blocking actions in the long war with Iran, Afgan and Iraq are blocks against the Empire Plans of Persia.

- we saw operational deception from the beginning, with all the parrots agreeing at first, then SQWAK.

- Sadam was at least trying to pretend he had WMD

- A creditable to Sadam, actual attempt on a President's life is an Act of War.

- don't believe a word what the pussy press is saying and don't believe the operational deception of the US at war.

- we elect them to keep the secrets that keep us safe.

- we are not and will not ever be briefed on any of this, for at least 60 more years. Great WW2 stuff is just now being de-classified.

HINT: we almost lost

So...looks like I got the answer to that.
