“Under the headline ‘Don’t Attack Saddam,’ [former National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft’s] August 15 [2002] column [in The Wall Street Journal] stated…an invasion [of Iraq] would require that the United states pursue a ‘go it alone’ strategy, and would ‘result in a serious degradation in international cooperation with us against terrorism. And make no mistake, we simply cannot win that war without enthusiastic international cooperation, especially on intelligence.’ ”
