Tomorrow marks the five year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. And in its honor, several publications and personalities have begun to reflect on the war at this slap-in-the-face (3,990 members of the U.S. military dead, $500 billion spent) "commemoration":
*Three television journalists ruminate over the hours leading up to the initial invasion and the subsequent experiences of their assignment.

*A number of "liberal hawks" who originally supported the war answer the question, "Why did we get it wrong?"

*A journo considers the manufactured deception-"peddling mendacious tales about a mission accomplished"-of the Bush Administration over the last half-decade.
Via Salon
*Speaking of which: President Bush-who plans to address the Pentagon tonight on account of the anniversary-still feels the decision to invade was worth it.
