Truce? You are weak like the French...I'd wager you drive a little bitty car and eat unpasturized cheese
You're quote above says it all. The most compelling Administration charges were that Saddam was working on a nuke and he had links to al Qaida. Based upon what we know today about what the Administration knew then, there was clearly not a credible case to be made on either count. Put simply, Saddam didn't pose the urgent threat to America as advertised.
In other words, we didn't attack the "network of thousands & thousands of members of a multinational terrorist army without uniforms."
What's worse is that instead of dealing directly with the roots of Islamic Fundamentalisim that attacked US soil on 9/11, we have instead given them new purpose. Al-Zarqawi has been elevated from a 2 bit thug to the new leader of the Islamist movement, and his reach is spreading.
