The State | 06/19/2005 | U.S. lacked plan for post-Saddam Iraq: "A July 21, 2002, paper written for top government officials preparing to meet with Blair said: “The U.S. government’s military planning for action against Iraq is proceeding apace. But, as yet, it lacks a political framework. In particular, little thought has been given to creating the political conditions for military action, or the aftermath and how to shape it.”" umm, yeah, and then there's this: “He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind. He said to me: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.’ And he said, ‘My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.’ He said, ‘If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency.” Ah hell, when in Rome? All hail Ceasar! 1,700 dead and 13,000 injured so Bush can brag around the family dinner table? |
