Doug,

It may surprise you but I agree with that post. Iraq is a beachhead to fight Wahhabism in the Middle East. Iraq's oil removes Saudi Arabia's leverage. Iraq is centrally located between Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

The attack on Iraq is about Iraq in the same way that D-Day was about beach front property in France.

One of the hardest ideas for people to understand is that the moral case and strategic case for attacking Iraq are different. This is why it seems like the president 'changes his mind' or provides contradictory justifications.
