text: I suppose it depends on what the mission was.  If it was "to end terror", then no, as there have been terrorist attacks all over the world since then.  If it was to find "Weapons of Mass Destruction", remember that was the reason for the war, then no.  If it was to liberate Iraq, then I would have to say no way in hell.  If the mission was to get control of Iraqi oil, then he accomplished his mission. If the mission was to distract the American public, then I would personally say yes.
