The U.S. decided to go to war in Iraq in 2003 primarily due to concerns over weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) that the Iraqi regime, led by Saddam Hussein, was believed to possess. The U.S. government argued that Iraq's failure to comply with UN resolutions and its perceived threat to regional stability justified military action, despite lacking explicit UN support. Additionally, the Bush administration sought to promote democracy in the Middle East and counter terrorism, framing the invasion as part of a broader strategy in the post-9/11 context. Ultimately, the decision reflected a belief in the necessity of unilateral action when multilateral options were seen as ineffective.

How is it possible to support the troops in Iraq while calling for them to be returned home without accomplishing their objectives?

beside political standpoint you would support your brother and sisterIt's not, but - -A loss in Iraq would be a win for the Democrats, but they must lose the war without losing the voters' support. Politicians and other public figures who oppose the war say this because their jobs depend on support from the citizens who have sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, and friends serving in Iraq or Afganistan. If they don't support "the troops" they will lose a lot of these voters, viewers, or fans. Some of these people may be honestly anti-war, but many have political reasons to lose (or at least not win) "Bush's War". Most people will forget how many Democrats voted to go to Iraq but will remember (because liberals keep telling them) that Bush and his Republican friends started the war for personal reasons.
