That's not exacty correct. The neo-cons had sights on N. Korea and Iraq
as
far back as 1991. Do a search on the "wolfowitz doctrine.

Here is an example...

Another major U.S. objective should be to safeguard U.S. interests and
promote American values.
According to the draft document, the U.S. should aim "to address sources
of
regional conflict and instability in such a way as to promote increasing
respect for international law, limit international violence, and encourage
the spread of democratic forms of government and open economic systems."

The draft outlines several scenarios in which U.S. interests could be
threatened by regional conflict: "access to vital raw materials, primarily
Persian Gulf oil; proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and
ballistic
missiles, threats to U.S. citizens from terrorism or regional or local
conflict, and threats to U.S. society from narcotics trafficking."

The draft relies on seven scenarios in potential trouble spots to make its
argument -- with the primary case studies being Iraq and North Korea.

Read the document from 14 years ago and look at our rhetoric today. It's
pretty obvious what's going on...
