After the Gulf War proverb

 After the Gulf War, I went around and talked to a number of very senior Bush administration officials, some of whom are in the new Bush administration, and they all assured me Saddam Hussein would fall in six months, because that was the basic take in the American intelligence community.

 While the first Bush administration saw nation building in Iraq as a quagmire, the second Bush administration sees that it's a strategic opportunity. The first Bush administration was afraid they'd be stuck. American troops would be staying there forever. It would be a chaotic country, might fall apart. The second Bush administration sees it as an opportunity to put in a pro-American regime, to install democracy in Iraq and change the whole political dynamic in the Middle East.

 The Bush administration has apparently approved a plan to oust Saddam Hussein. I think that's President Bush's Father's Day gift to his Dad.
  Jay Leno

 If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again.

 to investigate whether Bush administration officials misused intelligence.

 If the Bush administration is so certain Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction, why don't they present the evidence to the American public? We are not anxious for an obviously cruel dictator to build up an arsenal, but we're also not ready to go to war for a mere possibility. If you're afraid your neighbor will kill you, you go to the police, you don't shoot him and claim self-defense.

 Attacking those patriotic Americans who have raised serious questions about the case the Bush administration made to take our country to war does not provide us a plan for success that will bring our troops home. While the Bush administration continues to stonewall the Congress from finding the truth about the manipulation of pre-war intelligence, Democrats will continue to press for a full airing of the facts.

 when the most senior officials in the Bush administration had already forcefully and repeatedly stated their conclusions publicly.

 While there are decisions now that only President Bush can decide, ... it is not too early for the rest of us to be thinking about how to build a just and peaceful and democratic Iraq after Saddam Hussein is gone. In fact, we in the administration have already begun doing so.

 No matter what the Bush administration does, the public is never going to believe they're doing everything they can in the Gulf. That's the box the administration is in.

 There is plenty to investigate about the Bush administration's use and misuse of intelligence, ... The American people deserve the truth.

 It now becomes clear why the Bush Administration has been vigorously opposing congressional hearings. The Bush Administration has been engaged in a conspiracy of silence.

 Nice try. [T]his episode fits the usual MO of the Bush administration perfectly: a flat statement of fact about intelligence matters that's made with great fanfare even though they know there's significant dissent within the intelligence community.

 [The two also addressed lingering concerns about instability in the Persian Gulf and continuing problems with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Asked if he agreed with Bush's statement that he would] take (Hussein) out ... We might have no other choice. We'll have to see if that happens.
  Dick Cheney

 I don't think the Bush administration could have been better served. This was a brilliant performance — and I say this as a critic of the Bush administration on a lot of things.
