Why war?

Steve Perry’s Monday blog includes excerpts from Jay Bookman’s assessment as to why we really went to war:

...why does the administration seem unconcerned about an exit strategy from Iraq once Saddam is toppled?

Because we won't be leaving. Having conquered Iraq, the United States will create permanent military bases in that country from which to dominate the Middle East, including neighboring Iran.
