“Few knew in 2000 that Bush was going to end up with neoconservatives all over the place. And once 9/11 happened, I think it's fair to say that eight or nine neocons have had an enormous influence. The whole solution to every problem was to go after Iraq. This had been a neoconservative mantra for ten years. There was no secret about it.” ThinkingYearsEndsWholeProblemSecretHappenedInfluenceTenSolutionsFairsIraqEightNineEnormousMantras Author:Seymour Hersh
