I see. Well, good thing that if we invaded it wouldn't be "without provocation", then.
Never ceases to amaze me how many articles come out (and they really are a dime a dozen) criticizing the so-called "plan to invade Iraq", a "plan" which doesn't even exist as far as we know, except of course in the ever-more-fantastic and mutually-contradictory stories leaked to the New York Times. This article ought to really be titled, "The bogus stories leaked to and planted in the New York Times about this or that 'plan to invade Iraq' are dubious". The real story here, after all, is the fact that the NYT and people like the author of this piece are so damn gullible.
Stupid is a better word.
Oh, great... so now the plan which the administration has been talking about for months doesn't exist. Now how am I to believe that one?
Sure don't seem to be bogus stories.
