Absolutely not. And there was nothing in what you quoted that indicated he was.

But the quote is no more no less than what the former ambassador is advocating.

I'm not sure why anyone would care if we go to war with Iraq. It is going to be totally sanitized, with minimal loss of civilian life or our military. And we rid
the world of a huge problem.

Suppose we kill a couple hundred Iraqi civilians in the process. Isn't that a relatively small price to pay for ridding the world of a tyrant?


I am not sure how to rspond to this trivialization. We are attacking because he presumably has WMD, but it will be a relatively bloodless war, by your account, because Saddam will not use the world threatening WMDs in his last stand?

The reason for not attacking are far more complex anyway.
