The US didn't invade Saddam because he was Hitler-like or 'the next Hitler', they invaded because he 'had' weapons of mass-destruction. This isn't a secret, everyone knew at the time that this was the major justification for the war in Iraq (the 'useless' UN didn't buy it, and they were right).
I don't think anyone is suggesting that because their intelligence and motivations are/were suspect that the US should immediately pull all of the troops out of Iraq. Obviously they're committed to the current course of action. That said, I think the US is screwed no matter what they do. It should be very interesting to see where this all stands in 5-10 years. I hope for the best.
