The president’s real goal in Iraq


Jay Bookman’s piece in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution followed the Sunday Herald story by a couple of months.

It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the “American imperialists” that our enemies always claimed we were.
