Of course, that's the only possible way it could be interpreted

One could try interpreting it in some other way - except that it doesn't make any sense, as nobody could find any possible national security harm involved in the supposed outing of a supposedly covert agent. I say supposedly because not even Fitzgerald is willing to stipulate that she was actually covert. The old favorite White House conspiracy interpretation blew up when Armitage confessed to being the leaker. At least it should have blown up, had the believers in it been susceptible to logic.

As for the Iraq war, I said then and I say now, that while Israel considered Iraq a threat, Iran was and certainly now is, a much bigger threat, and if they could have ordered a US war, it would have been with Iran.
