There has been significant gain there also, especially after the "surge" in late 2006/Early 2007.
The reasoning behind the invasion wasn't only to find WMDs which Saddam never had(he admitted that he bluffed in 2006 before his excecution), some of you may forget, he was also harbouring known Al-Qaeda members, which has been proven. The Invasion of Iraq was an ill-advised pre-emptive strike on the belief that Saddam had a combination of these two factors.
