You have cited the group of people who wanted to invade Iraq in 1998. As we know from Pollack's book, an invasion was seriously debated in the Clinton White House at this time as well.

True. I only wanted to counter Michael D. Cummings' statement "There is near zero evidence Bush advisors wanted to invade Iraq prior to 9/11." The PNAC people I quoted were clearly in favor of launching military action against Iraq which certainly meant more than the occasional cruise missile.

Highlighting the history of Iraq attack plans is a different matter than commenting on them. I was against the war but now that it's over it's time to move on. There's no denial that there are positive outcomes: the regime has been toppled and now the Iraqis have a chance to build a better future.
