I don't know who is behind the calls, if it's just a trial balloon or what. We'll have to see.
I think W (actually Cheney and Rumsfeld) attached Iraq because of the "gift" of 9/11 -- gave them an excuse (lies) to go in to get the oil that Cheney had already divvied up among the Big Oil Boys. I think W LOVED the idea because of Saddam's attack on HW. Win/win.
