...December 2002, I had a spell of the Ari Agitation. We were returning on Air Force One from St. Petersburg, Russia. I was trying to get Fleischer to explain how the President's hope that Saddam Hussein would peaceably disarm was consistent with his earlier view that the Iraqi leader should be removed from office. Fleischer insisted that Bush's policy was "regime change," a term the Administration used to muddle the less diplomatic but real goal of removing Saddam from office. It was a familiar dodge, but a little clarity from the plainspoken Texan's administration about going...
...wonder how much that is true of us all. Is our reaction to Iraq a knee-jerk response to Bush himself rather than a mature reflection on that troubled country?

...He’s a man of good experiences.” Last time I checked most people didn’t think Iraq was a very good experience. Let’s not forget what Wolfowitz told Congress and the American people: that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction (false), that we would be greeted as liberators (correct for a week), that we needed fewer troops than we did in Iraq (false), and that fewer troops died in Iraq than actually did (maybe he should take QR 34: “Counting People”).
