Personally, my view is that if there was any "plan" and if Clinton had any role in it, it was just that, a role. I do not see him as an architect. Clinton is a public face for a lot of people that the public never sees and I think his major contribution is that public face, not as an architect.
Sorry to get back to you somewhat late. I guess you could be right. It was more or less conjecture on my part.
I've kind of gotten a bit sidetracked regarding the threads about Clinton telling Blair to drop Bush or else he'd be going down too. I've searched FR through google but haven't really been able to get too far. I will keep trying a bit more but may not be able to get too much farther. If I do find them i'll post the URLs for them here for the sake of completion.
