3. It was clear to me even in 2002 that this was nothing more than a veiled attempt at "nation-building," by a President who had promised as a candidate in 2000 not to engage in nation-builing.

Seems you missed 9-11.

Baloney. You've never heard me utter even a whisper of opposition to the war in Afghanistan. The war in Iraq has nothing to do with that; in fact, I contend that 9/11 simply gave this administration a convenient excuse to carry out a war in Iraq that it wanted to pursue the moment it took office.

If you need any proof of that statement, consider this: the civilian leadership in the Department of Defense in this administration is dominated by people who have been publicly calling for U.S. military action in Iraq for the last ten years. What is most remarkable in light of all this was their astonishing lack of any interest in al-Qaeda or Osama bin Laden anytime before 9/11.
