Yes, he also speculates that another country might stage it rather than ours, but the importance of this clip is that he believes that our government might initiate something such as that.
Our government did already do it, to escalate the Vietnam war into the disaster it became.
I'll just point out that we still have found no WMD stockpile or delivery platforms in Iraq, our justification for invasion and occupation. Contrary to the fevered speculation here at FR, the administration, the press, academia and our own weapons inspectors cannot provide any credible explanations for the lack of confirmation for our causus belli in Iraq.
But of course, you're free to believe anything you wish. Me, I'm a conservative and I'm suspicious. When government makes big claims and then can't back them up, I'm even more suspicious. Call it a personal failing, if you will. Me, I call it healthy cynicism, the hallmark of any conservative worthy of the name.
