4. He was seduced by Chalabi
and he has never admitted that he was wrong about anything. He believes ion conquering people and forcing them into democracy.

He is very smart though and I would never dismiss anything he says completly out of hand. He isn't an ideologue, just incorrect about the war and obnoxiously so.
