    Total fantasy..

    But I believe that to go ahead and remove that regime, to then temporarily occupy Iraq, to change it from a fascist regime to some type of democratic governance will then give us a geopolitical advantage in that region to change the status quo, which will affect Iran, it will affect the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians, it will affect the Hezbollah terrorist organizations.

    General Grange was lying through his teeth, there is no doubt about it.

    There is simply no way Iraq was going to become a democracy and general Grange knew this.
