I think all along Iran was on the chopping block and Iraq was just an oil rich base camp with shattered people ready to treat us as Liberators.

As Glenn's book has described so well, the Manichean mindset sees little value in scarce resources or details, just the biggest of Big pictures. Domestically, Dick Cheney is channeling John Adams and apparently it's working.
