NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. invasion of Iraq was among the "dumbest moves of all time" that ranks with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the German invasion of Russia, billionaire philanthropist Ted Turner said on Tuesday.

The U.S. invasion of Iraq has caused "incalculable damage" that will take 20 years to overcome "if we just act reasonably intelligently."

"It will go down in history, it is already being seen in history, as one of the dumbest moves that was ever made by anybody. A couple of others that come to mind were the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and the German invasion of Russia," Turner told the forum.

"It literally broke my heart. You don't start wars just because you don't like somebody. ... I wouldn't even start a war with Rupert Murdoch," Turner said, referring to his onetime cable network rival.

Maybe it was a...naaaah. I won't even try that.

Monday morning quarterbacking is my view of TT's remarks. I agree that, in retrospect, it was a bad decision to go into Iraq. If we'd have smashed the dictator, been received as heroes by the people, and discovered WMD's, why Bush would be a genius. Ted Turner is a monopolistic capitalist who runs his tongue too loose and too often.

Sure seems dumb now. I hope they put Humpty together again.

Although five years after it's beginning is hardly "history," IMO. Who knows, maybe the Iraq war will turn out (when it actually becomes the subject of purely analytical and not emotional debate) to have saved humanity in some off-beat way. But I doubt it.

Who in the hell listens to Ted Turner. HE married Jane Fonda not to bright on his part. She is a commmunist who sided with the enemy. Yeah... he is real smart.

He was smart enough to become a billionaire. How much is in your checking account?

Hurricane, it's not "to smart," it's "too smart."

Yea... you are real literate.

How are those GED classes going?
