Here is the operative paragraph:
In the face of the foot dragging, hawks in America have been pushing for an immediate attack on Iraq. Some of them want regime change for reasons other than disarmament, and, therefore, they have discredited the inspection process from the beginning; they did not want it to succeed. Because military action probably will require only a few days, they believe the world community will quickly unite on rebuilding Iraq as soon as Saddam is deposed.
It is so nice that he put this in writing! I hope this is enough to convince you that he made a concerted effort to raise expectations. There is another article somewhere in which he gave a speech saying the same thing, but I hope you will forgive me if I don't bother to look for it. I have a lot to catch up on.
