I can imagine in Bush's rather knee jerk (plenty of rhetorical evidence of that...who was the indsider that wrote that excellent book again?) macho, lazy thinking way, certain objectives were set in stone without due regard for the consequences

An element of cockiness from a over confident administration

we may well never know all the true opinions of the power brokers, but I suspect this was Bush driven. Cheney is not a nice man in many ways, but his background is pragmatic and despite Halliburton connection I suspect hes too bright to simply be one to think about his own pocket above all other considerations

We have a lot to learn about all of this
