NUTCASE: “Just think of what happened after 9/11. Immediately before there was any assessment there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq,” Ron Paul Dec 8, 2011
Nutcase? A lot of the neoncons believed, much like Rahm Emanuel, that the post 9-11 crisis was “a crisis that was too important to waste” and a useful pretext for the Iraq war they always longed for.
