De Borchgrave thinks he has "proof" that the war was an ill-conceived misadventure just like Kerry and his ilk are now exclaiming. He has no proof that Hussein was about to lose control of Iraq, and even if he died early, control would only be passed to his equally murderous sons. "There were no weapons" supposition is likewise preposterous where even Kay declared that Iraq was more dangerous than previously thought. Kay asserted Hussein was planning on reinstituting his WMD programs. But the biggest howler is the one where De Borchgrave says those dreaded neocons expected the Mideast to turn into one big Israeli democratic lovefest. Where is the proof for that ridiculous statement Arnaud? I've yet to read one quote from anyone connected with the mission who said that anything would be certain. I did read quotes from those people saying that it would be a hard task to accomplish. Apparently De Borchgrave dreamed a lot of these statements up. He risks turning into a crackpot with this screed.

I believe there was an attack at Tonkin - the Maddox has the bullet holes to prove it. The question is whether it was attacked a second time, which it was not.
