I, and everyone else, was told that The Plan was to invade Iraq and disarm Sadaam Hussein. This was necessary because he had WMDs. That made him too dangerous. He had 65 million tons of anthrax and could launch missiles at Britain within 45 minutes and ...

Well, anyway, the WMDs are not there, and we can't find Sadaam. Never mind. The Plan is to engage in nation building in Iraq.

Meanwhile, the real centres of jihadist terror, such as Kurdistan (notice where that Islamia group is filtering in from?), Pakistan, and certain other countries the US govt kisses up to, are our allies. Supposed allies.

I can't quote Bush, but a paraphrase is accurate enough:

The Plan was to go after the terrorists on our terms. The Plan was to attack them before they attacked us. The Plan was to not tolerate other countries aiding and abetting terrorism. The Plan was to not stop until the terrorist threat was eliminated. The Plan was to get them (the terrorists) to show themselves so we could attack and kill them. Put all that into one thought, and what we are doing in Iraq is consistent with The Plan.

What you cite is accurate but only a small segment of The Plan. Bush outlined it all clearly, but few seemed to listen carefully.
