A Commander-in-Chief seized by fear. No plan (or desire) to build democracy. "Success" not defined by a return of troops ...
Richard Perle, interview with al-jazeera:
The administration looks around and says: "My God, what might happen next?" And the fear that seized senior officials....
So the US went in to Iraq to eliminate that threat, not to build democracy, not to steal Iraq's oil, not for broad geopolitical reasons but because the importance of dealing with that threat became a near obsession of the administration after 9-11.
....
Well I don't measure success by the return of US troops …
Can we afford another GOP administration?
