Had Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and their neocon allies been forthright about their intentions – to bring down Saddam Hussein by means of war, thereby creating a new, pro-Western Middle East – they never would have received the support of Congress and the American public.
Si Bush, el ex Vicepresidente Dick Cheney, el ex Secretario de Defensa Donald Rumsfeld y sus aliados neocons hubieran declarado sinceramente sus intenciones –derrotar a Sadam Husein mediante una guerra y con ello crear un nuevo Oriente Medio prooccidental–, nunca habrían recibido el apoyo del Congreso ni del público americano.
