from O'Neill and Suskind's Price of Loyalty:
On most mornings, O'Neill received a package of documents from his aides to prepare him for the day's meetings. His papers for February 1, 2001, included an agenda for an NSC meeting to be held in the White House Situation Room that afternoon on U.S. policy in the Persian Gulf. The agenda -- an unclassified cover sheet to classified documents that were not included in O'Neill's papers -- refers to a secret paper on a "Political-Military Plan for Post-Saddam Iraq." It is one of several indications of how regime change in Iraq and handling post-war nation-building had come to dominate discussions of foreign policy in the first days of the administration.
