And they were never heard from again
A classified State Department report expresses deep skepticism that installing a new regime in Iraq will foster the spread of democracy in the Middle East, a claim the ethically-challenged Emperor Snippy has made in trying to build support for his war.
The report, which has been distributed to a small group of top government officials but not publicly disclosed, says that daunting economic and social problems are likely to undermine basic stability in the region for years, let alone prospects for democratic reform.
[T]he argument has been pushed hardest by a group of officials and advisers who have been the leading proponents of going to war with Iraq. Prominent among them are Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, chairman of the Defense Policy Board. "Well, once we win the war and then get re-elected {sic} who the f*ck cares?" an aide was heard to say. - link.
