This is an exerpt from a Boston Globe article. I find it particularly interesting, because it finally, finally is articulating what so many people who either were against the Iraq invasion from the beginning, such as myself, and others who supported it, but now do not, or are merely quesioning the sanity of this endeavor. Also, it really seems to be the first instance that I have come across wherein the Downing Street Memo is now being carefully scrutinized by Congress. It's about time. ...
This article if for those who think that the Iraq invasion was not about oil. Notice the time line presented here by Palast.

Dubya's dependence on others' weaknesses are not going to sustain him anymore. His reliance on the Kerry discreditors can no longer float his boat. The election is over. He now has to stand on his own merits and accomplishments. He has to stand on his own record. Problem is, Dubya's record is abysmal. He's squandered the surplus. He mired the US in a horrific war that was not necessary and was based on lies and selfish interests. His environmental record is appauling, and he hir...
