Now, guys like Club and Bilmore are placed in the uncomfortable position of saying that, as each of the other justifications for temporarily colonizing Iraq turns out to be horseshit, the broader agenda of re-making the Middle East was their top priority all along. It's like Wile E. Coyote looking down to find he's accidentally run off the edge of the cliff, and holding up a sign that says, "Hooray! I meant to do that!"

I have been saying all along that remaking the middle east was my top priority. I haven't been coy about this. I also believe (a) there were or still are WMDs, (b) there were AQ connections, (c) the war was justified on humanitarian grounds, and (d) the war will be viewed as a watershed moment similar to WWII when the history is written.*
*I may be proven wrong on (a) and the connections in (b) may not have justified war.
