I'm not sure I agree with any of the scenarios you laid out, but I do wonder what the whole Iraq thing was really about. They were dead set on going in there and there's a good deal of information that indicates they were working on it before 9/11. Since we're talking about conspiracies, the fixation with Iraq is probably one of the reasons they missed 9/11 even after the August 6, 2001, presidential daily briefing "Bin Laden determined to strike in US".

Here's what we clearly do know. The Bush folk felt one way about Iraq. The Clinton folk felt a different way. We saw both approaches demonstraited. I'll let history decide which was in our best interest.

I'm also curious why you think mutual containment was so seriously flawed.
