You're talking tactics and I'm talking justification for the invasion. I see it justified for the reasons set forth in Pollack's book. I really don't care if the neocons in the Administration use his book as external validation. The fact that a good, cogent reason as set forth by Pollack exists is sufficient for me, regardless of whether his views are used for external validation by the Administration. I don't ultimately care who said what when, how X manipulated Y, whether Perle has a tail and cloven hoofs, etc., so long as the right thing is being done for the right reasons. I'm convinced it is. The post-invasion scenario has admittedly not been scripted to a fare-thee-well. I disagree with Pollack that it can be scripted with too much specificity--a fluid thing that will require a lot of fluid ad hoc action.
