"We went into Iraq to eliminate Saddam's stock of weapons of
mass destruction, to depose a reckless strongman at the heart
of a vital region, and to overawe unfriendly regimes on the
country's borders. Agree or not, those were the prime stated
reasons. Now we've got a deteriorating security situation and
a palpably botched plan for reconstruction. And our effort to
recover from our ill-conceived and poorly-executed policy is
now the 'central front' in the war on terror, which is among
other things extremely convenient.
The president has turned 9/11 into a sort of foreign policy
perpetual motion machine in which the problems ginned up
by policy failures become the rationale for intensifying those
policies. The consequences of screw-ups become examples of
the power of 'the terrorists'.
We're not on the offensive. We're on the defensive. A bunch of
mumbo-jumbo and flim-flam doesn't change that."
