Strange dreams

This is interesting:

The New York Times is alleging that CIA Failed to Disclose Iraqi Scientist Details. Evidently, the CIA knew that Iraq had abandoned it's programs to develop unconventional weapons. It just didn't clue in George.

If that's true (and that's a kind of a big if) then this war is the result of the union of some of the strangest series of coincidences in history. I mean, imagine for a second if a leader with primo Oedipal motivation gets teamed up with lots of ultra-sharp, uber-hawkish underlings and an intelligence agency that won't tell him what's what. Throw in a world-shaking calamity like 9/11 and waddaya get? America off on a wingnut and a prayer.
