Bush fired the generals who said that the aftermath of the invasion would be long and difficult. He fired the economic adviser who said that the war would cost more than $100 billion.
The fact that things are improving after five years of Americans fighting there, after the better part of a trillion dollars spent (or more), and after years of sectarian conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and left more than that as refugees, does not mean Bush was right. It means the administration was wrong about almost everything. It means those who predicted this scope of conflict were right. And those who predicted that before the war were critics of the administration, then derided by Bush supporters for their predictions.

Bush's torture techniques copied from China's methods during Korean war.
