The `Mad Dog' in the Middle East: by Rahnuma Ahmed: If the Iraqi resistance had not been so strong, the attack on Iran, which was the "big prize" all along, would have happened in the second Bush administration.

The time frame now is a bit different, and although he's not sure as to how it's playing out, they are trying to "create an excuse for a war."

If it does not exist, its existence need not be acknowledged… That is how denial has worked.
