...Republicans - or Democrats, for that matter - have questioned the administration's moral case for seeking Saddam Hussein's ouster, articulated last week by national security adviser Condoleezza Rice in a BBC interview. But Republican critics warn that pursuing that particular moral objective by going to war under present circumstances may isolate the U.S. from its natural allies and undermine support for its war on terrorism.

...campaign by Perle, Wolfowitz and others to pursue Saddam's ouster predates both September 11 and even the Bush White House.
