Picture of Saddam Hussein on the Gallows - Iraq War

Telegraph: Reports on Iraq ten years after the Iraq War started, it has has pic of Saddam Hussein on the gallows, the article notes the following, " Minutes before being dispatched by a hangman's rope, Saddam Hussein's defiance was so theatrical that he seemed to be acting out a heroic deathbed scene. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks in a few days it will be 10 years to the day that the Iraq War started, the cost in lives and treasure for the US, UK and Iraq was and is great; the impact is still having consequences for Iraq;  the question often asked was it worth it and was the only winner Iran.   In the political arena it damaged the political standing of Bush 43 and Tony Blair, it can be argued that the mess of Iraq post invasion and the lack of weapons of mass destruction lead to Tony Blair being forced out by his Chancellor Gordon Brown.  In the US the long war allowed for the raise of then Senator Obama to President Obama, the Republicans with Iraq and the near banking collapse never had a chance in 2008.   The perceived failure in Iraq has cast a long shadow, the West has allowed over seventy thousand Syrians to die without taking action as it is afraid of another Iraq.   The Tehran Regime now does not have worry about Iraq, it in fact uses Iraq air space to send arms to the Assad Regime in Syria.   Thus folks what does Iraq equal ten years on, Saddam Hussein was an evil man, killed thousands of his own people, started regional wars, and used chemical weapons, at the end of the day Bush 43 and Tony Blair were right, they made major mistakes, but their hearts and faith took the right path, the mistakes were in the post planning for Iraq, the dissolution of the Iraqi Army was major mistake, it sent thousand of Iraqi men out on the streets with no jobs but with weapons, thus the turmoil of the following years, it took years for the US to gets is strategy  right in Iraq, thus the Bush surge of 2007, the UK Army in Iraq allowed it itself to get pushed on to the Basra air base and was not trusted by the US or the Iraqi Government, in other words it was a disaster for the UK, thus Bush 43 could correct the mistakes, while Blair was out, thus the results of the War folks.
