A good piece at the New Republic about the struggle among the Bushists over what to do about Iraq: Phase Two.

Broadly speaking, the Bush team consists of two camps: The first wants to disarm Saddam; the second wants to destroy him. The Pentagon’s civilian leadership, led by Wolfowitz and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, has been pressing for a broad and robust military campaign, launched in conjunction with the Iraqi opposition, and aimed at ousting the Iraqi dictator. So have some National Security Council staffers and Dick Cheney aides. The State Department, meanwhile, favors limiting any campaign to the destruction or degradation of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. And if this latter faction has been losing the fight over whether to take military action against Saddam, it appears to be winning the fight over the scope of the action. Which means good news for Saddam Hussein and bad news for the rest of us.
