It was quite obvious at the time that invading Iraq was a bad idea and that the claims of it having weapons of mass destruction were not at all supported by inspections. I don't think anyone predicted the rise of a militant caliphate because that was kind of a far-out dream for even the most intense of jihadists but plenty of people held that the invasion was a very vicious thing to do. Bush and Blair were widely called out for their bullshitting even then.

American and British intelligence agencies weren't the only ones of the opinion that Saddam's regime was working on a WMD program. Whether or not that justifies an invasion is a more debatable point, but I'm of the opinion that even the many, many games he played with the inspectors was enough to warrant one.
But I'm glad there's agreement that nobody was prescient enough to predict the rise of ISIS.

I think the US and Israel legitimized the current Iranian government sometime around Iran-Contra.

Why even have that hair trigger? It just seems foolish to launch an invasion on the basis of a 4.5 year old resolution.

Add into that mix that Saddam was nerve gassing entire villages, making it very easy to believe he had these weapons and the will to use them.

"Years after the war had begun" is not the same as "before the war began," though, in terms of claiming to have foreseen it all.
There's absolutely no question the pullout was a mistake, as evidenced by the fact that we're slowly building force back up in the country. Obama's genius is in doing it quietly, and in somehow keeping the metric fuckton of ordnance we're dropping on both Iraq and Syria a subject that nobody really wants to write about.

Because keeping Iraq from developing nukes was vital to our interests. If Iraq had successfully done it, Iran would've had to successfully do it, too.

Last time I heard anything about it, the chemical and biological weapons Iraq did have were sold by the US and thus already known. They had also already been destroyed along with the facilities to produce them under the supervision of the UN.
Anyone "playing games" doesn't really matter when you know that they've already destroyed at least 90% of everything they ever had in the way of WMDs and their production. Suggestions that Iraq was producing chemical or nuclear weaponry were never credible and were solidly debunked once UN inspectors returned after the invasion.

People like Janeane Garofalo were against it from the beginning. Passionately, even. The problem is they weren't claiming destabilization of the region or such would happen, they were busy repeating the tired old lie "no blood for oil" which eventually changed to "Bush lied. People died."
But yes, few in Congress at the time voted against the invasion of Iraq and subsequent regime change.

Which takes us back to the "I'm shocked, shocked" that politicians spin the truth, if not outright lie at times. When things go good, politicians take the credit; when things go bad, they find someone else to blame (even if that someone else is God, see Rubio's statement that his path to the White House wasn't in God's Plan).

I'm fairly certain the Iranian push for nuclear development is grounded in Western hostility to the present regime, hostility which was affirmed by the invasion of Iraq.

Were those warnings public? No? Did their warnings affect Senate votes? No? Did they help shape public opinion? No? Before you strain your arm find me some actual liberals who, prior to the invasion, were sounding the clarion call that it would "likely turn out horrible and destabilize the region."
I vaguely remember Bill Clinton voicing concern that there would be unexpected consequences back then, but not extensively and never specifically what those consequences would be. I do remember concern about Iraq's stability eventually becoming the central topic when we started to form the new government over there with people like al-Zarqawi constantly making us look like a bunch of tools, but not so much prior to that. In fact, I don't remember many people questioning Bush's approach until al-Zarqawi and his ilk began appearing untouchable and Bush unwilling to engage. That was when comparisons to our failed strategies in Viet Nam and South Korea started - or at least became popular discussions on television. That was about the time when people seriously started questioning the war fighting strategy and wanting to know the exit strategy.

Just to make sure I'm keeping up, we've gone from "no one thought invading Iraq was a bad idea" to "well, no one knew specifically why" to "well, the senate by and large didn't know specifically why" - is that where we are now? Or are you asking me to prove that a large percentage of the American public, who in January 2003 were majority against the invasion, knew exactly why the invasion was a bad idea? If it's the latter, you win this round, since at that time the majority of the public also thought that Iraq was behind 9/11. So, I guess that's sort of a victory, once you reframe it enough.

I saw a video of Bernie speaking out against the invasion. He cited lack of imminent threat against the US as a country, as well as the potential threat of Saddam using chem weapons against our troops if he were to be boxed in. He then shifted to how Bush was ignoring the US economy and so on.

You must have me confused with someone else. I don't join discussions with the hopes of "winning" or score keeping or giving someone a good drubbing. I post because I like to discuss certain topics, add commentary, and argue for/against things that interest me and that's about as far as it goes.
As to where we've gone during my part of this discussion, you'll remember that I joined in when you were questioning the idea of the nation being 100% behind the invasion and whether anyone predicted destabilization. I interpreted your use of the nation to mean the general public and news media. I interpreted opposition to invasion as the public/vocal anti-war campaign that was happening at the time, not a few CIA analysts producing classified reports or back room discussions between President Bush and foreign governments. I do not remember the anti-war position having a "it will destabilize the region" message. They were pretty much married to the "no blood for oil" and "it will just make the terrorists mad" tropes.
If I have misinterpreted your statement, I'm hardly infallible, please clarify and we can approach this from a fresh perspective.

It shows why Palin was McCain's biggest mistake, too. So frequently the Tea Party people are their own worst enemies.
EDIT: I just saw a news clip where Palin says she doesn't want to be VP choice because she doesn't want to be a burden on the Trump campaign effort. Of course her position was couched between coy statements that she'd gladly accept if asked. I thought nobody could be more destructive to conservative ideology than Ann Coulter. Way to prove me wrong, Sarah.

To be up front and honest, I believe that invading Iraq was a waste, intelligence was faulty, and it was a huge mistake. It was Bush's folly.
That being said, I'm not exactly thrilled with Hillary Clinton disavowing her participation in it. She was nearly as gun-ho about it as Bush, despite her denials today.
In fact, back in the Clinton Presidency, between 1995 and 1999 between Bill and Hillary they publically proclaimed to the press about Iraq having Weapons of Mass Destruction. They didn't do this just once, it was at least 24 times, and videos of it exist. They claimed they had evidence that Iraq had WMD, the ability to make more, reliable delivery systems, and the willingness to use them.
Despite video records to the contrary Hillary denies ever having believed it.

The argument "It will make the terrorists mad." is a conservative redraft of the argument "It will destabilize the region."
So what does that mean the Cruz Missiles are doing?

http://reason.com/blog/2016/05/08/pj-orourke-endorses-hillary-clinton
On this weekend's episode of the NPR game show Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!, humorist P.J. O'Rourke—usually classified as either a conservative-leaning libertarian or a libertarian-leaning conservative—announced that he's voting for Hillary Clinton. Clinton, he declared, was "the second worst thing that could happen to this country. But she's way behind in second place, you know? She's wrong about absolutely everything. But she's wrong within normal parameters!"
Of Donald Trump, he warned: "They've got this button, you know? It's in a briefcase. He's gonna find it."
