It seems clear that the policy to invade Iraq was set first, and
the justification was adapted later to suit the circumstances.

Bush had plans to go into Afghanistan and Iraq well before 9/11.

There's your problem in a nutshell. You are accusing the admin of
some secret motivation in Iraq that you can't really explain
without sounding like a Michael Moore kook. So what was the real
story, Nate? Can you answer without using the terms "Bush's
father," or the "Saudi
connection,"
or "Halliburton"?


Oil politics seems to be the biggest factor. Whoever controls the
taps of the Middle East and Caspian oil resources can pretty much
control the
world
economy.


So then it logically follows that since Bush was planning on invading
Afghanistan and Iraq, all he needed was an excuse. Therefore Bush was
behind 9/11, right?

I think you are having an off day, Dan ;-P
