And you know this how? Oh....you just "know" it, huh?
Just look at the composition of the civilian leadership in the U.S. Department of Defense under this administration from January 2001. A substantial number of key positions in that agency were filled with appointees whose primary focus -- if not their ONLY focus -- throughout the 1990s had been to advocate for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
The fact that many of these people were so thoroughly wrong on Iraq despite their Ivy League backgrounds and years of "expertise" as Beltway think-tank jack@sses is a scathing indictment of this administration.
