I'm half-way through Plan of Attack. The process is all very interesting, in a macabre sort of way, but I haven't yet read a "why now" or "why is it necessary to go in now" quote that didn't come from Powell.
On a related note, a very disturbing thought entered my head the other day amid the talk of Chalabi spying for the Iranians - could the Iranians somehow have instigated this, by having their agent, Chalabi, and his gang making false intelligence claims to the CIA and others? Were we duped into this war by the Iranians? I haven't been able to get it out of my head this entire week...
