Are you saying that Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and others around Bush were not looking to invade Iraq prior to 9/11?

Again I agree. I guess that Bush himself was probably indifferent towards regime change in Iraq at the beginning of his term (keyword "nation building" which he didn't want to get involved in). But the exchange with Michael D. Cummings was about Bush's advisors: they had thought a lot about what to do with Iraq and drew Bush's attention to a convenient target after the 9-11 shock.
