Uhhh... So it's ok to invade a country and lie to get some kind of casus belli, and when things get rough just go "eh **** it" and nuke it?

It's like Canada says USA hates honey and attacks and invades USA. When things get rough and it's evident that USA does not, in fact, hate honey, Canada nukes them.

Logic wins again!

Well, if you read it again;

US lies to get a valid reason to go to war with a nation (casus belli is the formal list of reasons for going to war; i.e. WMD would be the US casus belli for war with Iraq)

US gets bogged down in Iraq.  (also changes casus belli at some point to being 'freeing Iraqis and installing a democracy - )

US nukes Iraq.  Everyone (well, all men - innocent or otherwise) dies.  Any hope of peace in the Middle East or an end to Muslim hatred of the west is destroyed.  Both casus bellis (preventing use of WMD, 'liberating' Iraqis from Saddam ) have been contradicted.

Do you go to Stony Brook?

Yes I do, as a matter of fact.
