Here is the context you are missing: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2002/08/the-larouchie-de...

I would never accuse US foreign policy of being ideologically coherent. I'm just pointing out that this was an explicit goal of the US invasion of Iraq, direct from the horses' mouths. Are you calling me dumb for stating that, or them dumb for being incoherent?
