This issue is certainly worthy of discussion, and this is precisely why people like Richard Perle and Douglas Feith should never have been allowed to work for the Bush administration in the first place.

And their views differ much from Clinton, Gore, the ILA, etc. etc. pushing for the liberation of Iraq and getting our troops out of Saudi how?

And all the papers written on behalf of the Saudis, Kuwaitis, Kurds, even Iraqis to get rid of Saddam - should we attribute conspiracy to them?

Richard Perle wasn't working for the Clinton administration -- if he had been, there is reason to be suspicious that the U.S. invasion of Iraq would have occurred in the mid-1990s. Perle was, however, one of the signatories of the infamous January 26, 1998 Project for a New American Century letter to Bill Clinton, calling for the U.S. to abandon its "containment" approach to Iraq and instead make the removal of Saddam Hussein a U.S. foreign policy objective.

Absolutely. The Kuwaitis in particular. The actions of the first Bush administration in orchestrating a propaganda campaign to generate public support for the war to "liberate Kuwait" was one of the most disgraceful episodes in recent U.S. history.

The Bush Administration is blessed to have the service of these men.
Bush/Cheney Bump!
