Disturbing...but not too suprising.

New York Times.

Overall the entire article is disturbing in that, with all that is discussed within it, the Administration is still is rushing headlong into war. But I've underlined something that I thought was illuminating in the way it was phrased by authors David Sager and Thom Shanker:

Senior Bush administration officials are for the first time openly discussing a subject they have sidestepped during the buildup of forces around Iraq: what could go wrong, and not only during an attack but also in the aftermath of an invasion.

Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld has a four- to five-page, typewritten catalog of risks that senior aides say he keeps in his desk drawer. He refers to it constantly, updating it with his own ideas and suggestions from senior military commanders, and discussing it with President Bush.

His list includes a "concern about Saddam Hussein using weapons of mass destruction against his own people and blaming it on us, which would fit a pattern," Mr. Rumsfeld said. He said the document also noted "that he could do what he did to the Kuwaiti oil fields and explode them, detonate, in a way that lost that important revenue for the Iraqi people."

That item is of particular concern to administration officials' postwar planning because they are counting on Iraqi oil revenues to help pay for rebuilding the nation.

As I read this, they are "particularly" concerned about losing the oil revenues than they are about Hussein using weapons of mass destruction against his own people, and even then they're only concerned with being blamed for it.

Oh, wait...Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Don Evans....never mind. Nothing too suprising here...
