"This war will destabilize the whole region and set off a global Shockwave of anti-americanism, and this is pretty good for our interests"
I don't buy the whole "oh the US ruling class had no idea Iraq would be such a boondoggle". They knew, and they knew it would send the region spiraling, and this is good for the US and Israel.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out the Bush administration knew 9/11 was going to happen and they ignored it so they could have a pretense for plundering Afghanistan.
