Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Rumsfeld was already obsessed with Iraq, Iran and North Korea, as we saw in the Clinton years.
49% : You don't need a big military to take out and rebuild Iraq!
44% : And if you consider "freedom" to mean breaking the law to sell arms to Iran and sending the money to commit human rights violations in Nicaragua, then giving it to Rumsfeld makes perfect sense.
39% : Of course, Iraq was in the middle of its war with Iran, which the US supported with significant investment on the Iraqi side.
35% : They had lots in common actually, such as opposing Syria and Iran.
27% : Anyway, more significant was Bill Clinton naming him to the Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States in 1998, which produced a report claiming Iraq, Iran and North Korea would have intercontinental ballistic missile systems that could strike the US in five to 10 years.
