"The decisions [on Iraq] did not get made that should have been. They didn't get made in a timely fashion, and the differences were argued out endlessly.… At the end of the day, you have to hold the president responsible. I don't think he realized the extent of the opposition within his own administration, and the disloyalty.Taken from an unbelievable interview in Vanity Fair. Why would prominent Republicans do an interview less than a week before Congressional elections slagging off Bush and Iraq? Utterly bizarre.
I think if I had been delphic, and had seen where we are today, and people had said, 'Should we go into Iraq?,' I think now I probably would have said, 'No, let's consider other strategies for dealing with the thing that concerns us most, which is Saddam supplying weapons of mass destruction to terrorists.'
I don't say that because I no longer believe that Saddam had the capability to produce weapons of mass destruction, or that he was not in contact with terrorists. I believe those two premises were both correct. Could we have managed that threat by means other than a direct military intervention? Well, maybe we could have."

I have a fave quote /about/ the Prince of Darkness:
"When the air conditioning broke down in the summer, we all clustered around Perle's heart to keep cool".
Counter-intuitive marketing.
"we made a mistake, but we won't make it again. You can trust us now...."
they are drawing a line in the sand.
they did not want to go to war,dubya made them.
i bet they keep all the share profits
though.
All part of the zionist plot to destroy America .
"those that the gods wish to destroy they first make great"
All the pieces are beggining to fall in to place
