It seems you are being deliberately obtuse.

"That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein's
regime from power."

"The policy of "containment" of Saddam Hussein has been steadily eroding
over the past several months."

" In the long term, it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime from
power. That now needs to become the aim of American foreign policy."

"We urge you to articulate this aim, and to turn your Administration's
attention to implementing a strategy for removing Saddam's regime from
power. This will require a full complement of diplomatic, political and
military efforts."

How exactly do you think they planned on "removing" Saddam?

Ask 100 people with average intelligence and reading comprehension skills
what they were advocating with this letter: http://tinyurl.com/7ots

So what then does this law have to do with spending close to a half trillion
dollars invading Iraq? Why did you bring it up? What are you trying to
prove? You really don't believe the defence industry was drooling over the
prospect of a full scale invasion? Propping up resistance groups is chump
change.

It's not reading between the lines. It's plain English.

uhhhhh did you really think I meant each and every member of PNAC landed a
top job in the Bush administration? When someone says "look at all the cars
in this parking lot" what do you take it to mean?

Yes they were saying they needed a new Pearl Harbor to advance their agenda
in a timely fashion. That's what I said in the first place.

What does Occam's Razor have to do with it being a coincidence that they
said they needed a new Pearl Harbor to rapidly advance their agenda, and
then it happening a short time later? If they didn't cause or allow 9/11 to
happen it's a coincidence by any definition of the word.
