Militaries work on plans for everything. I would be surprised if they didn't have a plan to invade nearly every country on Earth. It's what the military does. The decision is made by the politicians. Vastly different things that you're trying to hammer together.
Thank you for showing me you're nuts. No point in real discussion, this will be my only reply.
But to address
That reads nearly like an academic discussion on the topic and that he was actually focused on WMDs. Sounds like he wouldn't have done it without people/nations researching and agreeing that Saddma Hussein had WMDs (or was trying to make them), which would have lead to international cooperation and support. Not quite to the point of wanting UN agreement (because vetos) but he keeps discussing the UN. And sounds like if he didn't have both the domestic and international agreement, it wouldn't have happened. This is just another thing you're trying to hammer together. I thought this part was cool "the president is publicly taunting Democrats with the political consequences of a 'no' vote", he was obviously not a fan of Bush's browbeating - which along with Bush's lies is how the Iraq war went through. And the whole thing is just ripping Bush's administration and approach apart.
That you keep trying to hammer different things together shows me you either can't separate them yourself, or that you're discussing in bad faith. So ciao.
