The plan for Iraq that Bush likes may be the one from the American Enterprise Institute. Who is the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)? It is a conservative think tank and is one of the leading architects of the Bush administration’s public policy. More than two dozen AEI alumni have served either in a Bush administration policy post or on one of the government’s many panels and commissions. It’s officers include Lee Raymond, ex-CEO of ExxonMobil. Scholars and fellows include Lynne Cheney, wife of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, and Reuel Marc Gerecht, who is the director of the Project for the New American Century’s Middle East Initiative. That’s the group who cooked-up this whole Iraq mess. They were even pressuring Bill Clinton to attack Iraq back in 1998.
