As would I, but we should not be surprised that someone who reports to Rumsfeld would wish to be anonymous here.

I expect that we'll see some reaction from the admin soon on this.

Yes. Maybe a non-denial denial.

Thinking back to that period, I can see why Bush & Co. might regard a major incursion into/attack on a part of Iraq, during the UN runup, to be a very problematic thing. Remember, at the urging of the loyal opposition, they were holding off on things until the world could render its yea or nay. To maybe jeapordize the ability to get Saddam out in order to get this lesser thug might not have been a good choice.

Maybe. Or maybe the military sources are right when they say that Bush & Co. wanted to be able to point to Zarqawi as a reason to invade. That's what some people were saying at the time. As the administration's credibility has ebbed on all of this, it sounds more and more plausible.

But, I do have to say it's humorous to see Bush being attacked now because of his obsession with building coalitions.

If you were allowed to re-write this story, no doubt you would make it a comedy instead of a tragedy.
