That grin of yours is just so cute The passage you cite from Buchanan s speech is merely his take of the facts presented in a historically prominent September 2000 position paper from the Project for a New American Century the group from which G W Bush s inner circle and cabinet was drawn and it did include Wolfowitz Cheney et al And the group had previously urged then President Clinton to attack Iraq as well Given your liking for history you should find the position paper interesting Try searching the document for new Pearl Harbor for example But I m done answering your ad hominem about Buchanan We all get it that you loathe his politics that says nothing at all about the reliability of the Guardian article which is the only topic that s relevant here
