Isn't that slightly different though? I believe that once the war had begun, the coalition forces were obliged to see it through to the end. I still believe the war was a mistake but think it would be even more disastrous for Iraq were it now to be left in limbo. It isn't so much denying a mistake has been made as taking responsibility for it.
