For (much) more color on how Chalabi and the neo-conservatives in the GW Bush administration were able to start the disastrous war in Iraq, see this detailed 2004 article from Col. Patrick Lang This Piece is Very Highly Recommended (although I don’t endorse 100% of the stuff on his website):

on a closely related note, Juan Cole posts a video of GHW Bush, criticizing (some) NeoCon’s for fouling up GW Bush’s presidency

The Patrick Lang article was very good. Thanks.
