The Cascade Dominoes of September 11th

Paul Wolfowitz had always been jonesing to go after Saddam Hussein and up to that point had been deeply frustrated by his inability to get any traction on that subject.

And so everything that I've just described to you are sort of natural intuitions, but none of it was fact-based.
