I would imagine that Scowcroft, today, does not approve of the invasion of Iraq but he might phrase it as a pre-emptive strike. I don't think any one has any illusions about Saddam's desire to recreate the map of the Middle East.

RDorman,
There are a number of interesting ideas held by Scowcroft and others. You might find this an interesting read. Someone on CC sent me this link a while ago and we had a multipage discussion about it. http://nationaljournal.com/about/njw...06/0915nj1.htm
Despite JT Toads comment about Monday morning QB'ing, I was posting my predictions on this site before many of the events actually happened. The stuff I nailed pales in comparison to some of the predictions by some of the people mentioned in that article. I work with cause and effect rather than what is 'right' for the US (and to hell with the rest of the world) that most everyone else on this forum seems to go with.
Steve

Well, you know what they say about people who resort to insults during an argument. 
Hey Bernie - do you still like what General Batiste is saying?  How about General Odom?

Gee whiz Steve, you can't even sort out insults from a little ribbing. I can do insults a hell of a lot better than that.

Bernie,
Ribbing is usually followed with           and so on.
Insults are not. That's how we tell the difference when you can't see someones face.
I agree - this thread is done. We are all basing way too much on speculation, as we just don't have enough solid facts to form any kind of realistic conclusion.
Steve

Let's stick a fork in this thread; it's all done except for the insults, and they are beginning again.
