And of course, all those years of negotiation going back to the Clinton
Administration just happened to break through at the same time that Hussein
was being toppled. And indeed, coincidentally at the very same time the
Iranians were deciding to come clean about their own program. And
indeed, coincidentally the Syrians even made an (albeit much less serious
than those from their Iranian or Libyan counterparts) initiative to come
clean about their own program.
But of course, all of the above is just one giant happy coincidence
reflecting the fruits of St. Clinton's hard work and dilligence, right?
