>>What [chief U.N. weapons inspector] Richard Butler did last week with the
inspections was a set-up.... This was designed to generate a conflict that would
justify a bombing.... the two considerations on the horizon were Ramadan and
impeachment. You have no choice but to interpret this as 'Wag the Dog.'
You have no choice. - Scott Ritter [formerly a U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq] <<

No hmmm bout it, IMHO. Especially when you consider that Ramadan wasn't a consideration (the joint Syrian/Egyptian attack on Israel in 1973 was launched during Ramadan, no cessation of hostilities occurred during Ramadan in the Iraq/Iran conflict of the early 1980s, and there's reportedly no Koranic stricture attached to waging war during Ramadan). That leaves only one consideration...impeachment.
