Simple question as to whether the term "invade" is appropriate on this occassion.

It was an invasion and now it's an occupation. There are other names which can be applied, but it's all just window-dressing and spin-doctoring.

You bet it was an invasion. And I make a motion we do that again! And again! And again and again and again! Until the sun sets on that land with Old Glory flying high and proud and NOTHING BUT Old Glory flying high and proud!

it was more like a scenic sight seeing tour. Basically the US troops just kind of road up to Bagdad and decided they wanted to go on holiday.

Then the locals got a bit out of hand so they beat the hell out of them.

4 days to take out the 3rd largest standing military in the world. Hmmm, think they could have done it faster.

Wouldn't that entail invading yourselves as current occupiers?

I think I would rather see the US return to its isolationist policies. They don't play well with others.
