IMO, the piece is flawed on its basic premises. It assumes total destabilization of the entire country of Iraq was not an intended result, increased military spending was not an intended result, and that there was any motivation whatsoever related to security or well being of the US as a whole. None of those things are true. The illegal invasion of Iraq is, has been, and will continue to be, a screaming success for those who planned it. It's even doubtful the various "leaks" were a surprise. Compare the treatment of Sibel Edmonds to that of Bob Graham.
