Iraq was a for-Israel venture

I've yet to see the case for that substantiated. While I can easily see what American power blocs were served by the assault on Iraq, I fail to see what Israel got out of it.

Oh, I have no doubt that the likudniks cheered on seeing some brown people get bombed back to the stone age, but I sincerely doubt that they were the dog rather than the tail in that particular adventure.
