I'm saying it's ridiculous to assume that the entire war plan is derived from the wishes of these ambiguous "think-tanks."

I think the "think-tanks" saw/see very good strategic reasons for democratizing iraq and establishing a friendly Arab regime in the middle east. As selfish as those desires may be, THAT ISN'T NECESSARILY A BAD GOAL!

I think this president would like to see a democratized and free Iraq. I think we certainly have selfish reasons for that, but again, it's still a worthy goal (considering we already went in and bombed the country, don't ya think?).

Saying the whole war was simply about toppling Saddam is in fact delusional, and it's almost a moot point. We went in there, we did this, and we need to clean it up. We owe it to these people.

Take back Congress in '06, and bring up impeachment charges on Bush and WMDs for all i care. That'd be fine with me. But we're in Iraq, and we need to help Iraq.
