apparently you are ignorant of the Rumsfeld Doctrine. apparently the man wanted to prove a point, and it had nothing to do with "the threat". in the meantime if you want to ignore the facts;
  • motive ~ to secure the realm
  • intent ~ 'clean break' and letter to clinton
  • opportunity ~ at the center of storm calling for attack on iraq
