U.S. Officials Review Plan to Rebuild Iraq After a War nytimes.com

Meanwhile, from today's paper, I was amused by this little bit in an otherwise dull story.

Mr. Feith and other officials denied charges that the administration had waited too long to organize the office, known as the Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance. Last fall, he said, officials were emphasizing President Bush's decision to use the United Nations to encourage Mr. Hussein to rid his country of weapons of mass destruction. Creating a post-Hussein office would have fostered a "misimpression," Mr. Feith said, that the administration was not committed to disarming Mr. Hussein through peaceful means, rather than war.

I have no idea how anybody reading this thread could have ever gotten that "misimpression". How Perle's grand scheme for dominoes in the mideast could work without an Iraq invasion to kick it off is left as an exercise to the reader, I guess.
