If you mean: Done everything that we did, except for the invasion of Iraq, then, I say that's a fair and reasonable position that may well be the best answer.
The USA was already suppressing Saddam and working to contain him, so, I assume that you had no problem with those actions.
I'm not going to argue in this thread for any position, because, I want to gather in all clear thinking from others as food for thought for myself.

I'm smart enough to figure out why Obama wants to degrade ISIL.
Are you smart enough to figure out why Bush decided to remove Saddam? Take off your Democrat tin foil hat for a few hours and look into Saddam's history, his actual desire and intention to gain WMDs, study the time at which this was occurring, etc. Bush wasn't a retard for going into Iraq. He and his staff greatly miscalculated the difficulty of stabilizing the country afterwards. The actual removal of Saddam went pretty smoothly.
No president has figured out what to do about the middle east. Many of them were pretty damn smart. Clinton included. It quite honeslty seems like every decision in that damn place backfires. Wanna bet bombing ISIL has some sort of repercussions? No clue today what that will be...but 10 years from now on Frontline I bet we find out.
I think we should have done what we did. But used the Surge type tactics post the removal of Saddam to keep the insurgents at bay. Fully stabilized Iraq, then set up a permanent base(s). I also think every damn dime we spent should have been paid by Iraq (through oil or whatever). Spoils of war.
