There is reason to believe that we were sucked into an ill-conceived initial attack aimed at Saddam himself by double agents planted by the regime. And as we now know the estimate of Saddam's stockpile of weapons of mass destruction was substantially wrong. -- Richard Perle

Yeah, that's right: Saddam planted "double-agents" in the United States in order to "suck" the United States into attacking his country and forcing him into a rat-hole for six months, and then into prison, and, finally to be (one presumes) executed.

It all makes perfect sense. You know: Saddam was just not getting enough excitement in his life.

And, er, those were only "estimates" given by Colin Powell before the United Nations? And, uh, all of Colin's audio-visual "proof" of the weapons' existence was, what? Actually Iran's WMD programmes -- just got the satellite co-ordinates mixed up?
