Hell, even if Bush had said "we need to remove Saddam Hussein from power" from the beginning, that would have been at least a little better. Sure, he may not have been popular for it, but by now people would have said "well, we accomplished our main objective and now Iraq is becoming democratic and free." Instead, we're left with "well, at least Saddam Hussein is gone and now Iraq is becoming democratic and free."
Exactly!! If the President had said that Hussein was a loose cannon and wouldn't let him become a threat to us, that would be different. First, it would've showed he was honest, and that he would take extreme measures to enhance national security.
But of course that's not how things went. There's no denying it. The President used fabricated evidence to justify an unnecessary war. Because of this war, everything is becoming more expensive for us, while the President's friends have been raking in the cash.
