That's a bit too late to change your mind. Too late for the 1700 soldiers and the tens of thousands civilians who lost their lives in Iraq. And next time you plan to make a good joke, please check BEFORE if you're not basing your "decision (to back the war) on certain information that (will prove) not to be true"

Not to mention the civilian Iraqi people counted by www.iraqbodycount.net/
Civilians reported killed by military intervention in Iraq

Blame the insurgents for that.

Well we (the U.S) pretty much created the growth of insurgency with our very unnecessary invasion. So blame us I guess.
Anyone by chance know the bodycount stats from Saddam's regime? Maybe we could ask the Kurds? Maybe we could ask the Shia?
Who honestly thinks that Saddam would not have resumed his WMD programs as soon as the sanctions were lifted? The whole point of oil for food was so that Saddam could weaken the resolve of the UN to enforce sanctions.
But that's just me - let's see what the UN has to say.

The U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspections Commission, known as UNMOVIC, says nearly 8,000 items of dual use equipment, known to have been at various locations in Iraq, have disappeared.
A report to the Security Council lists 4,700 items that could be used in the production of chemical weapons, 300 that could be used for making biological weapons and 3,000 missile-related items.

IAEA spokesman Mark Gwozdecky, speaking from the agency's headquarters in Vienna, Austria, said locating the dual-use equipment was a priority.
"The kind of equipment we're talking about ... is the sort of thing that has a multitude of industrial applications," Gwozdecky said. "We were satisfied when we were in Iraq that it was not being used for a nuclear weapons program.
"In the wrong hands, it could be turned to use in a nuclear weapons program," he said. "Until we establish that this material is in responsible hands, we have to treat it as a serious proliferation concern."
