Cheney's War by Whim http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m20699&l=i&size=1&hd=0 Paul Pillar, a key CIA operative, has reported in Foreign Affairs: http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20060301faessay85202/paul-r-pillar/intelligence-policy-and-the-war-in-iraq.html that the administration manufactured a connection between 9/11 and Hussein -- thus allowing them to use this national tragedy to carry out their pre-planned attack in 2003, despite massive objections at home and abroad and massive chaos created in the aftermath -- the mobilization of the culture war that we see being manifested around the Muslim world in response both to our brutal torture of Muslims in Guantanamo based on reports of those now released therefrom and those of Abu Ghraib graphically displayed in living color. My two personal observations here are that as a New Yorker I deeply resent the use of our tragedy for such perverse purposes. And I have not seen such vicious abuses of political power since those of our enemies during WW2. And one might add some questions about the personal profiting from Cheney's operations -- Halliburton and Co in Iraq? -- "A war is just if there is no alternative, and the resort to arms is legitimate if they represent your last hope."

Obvioulsy the war was not a whim when PNAC (project new american century) had written articles about current imperialism already years ago.
Also it is pretty much of a fact that 911 was immediately harnesssed as a tool to get to Iraq.
