Just a quick paragraph from one of his other books, "Imperial Ambitions:Conversations On The Post-9/11 World" Chapter 2, Page 33.
"On May 1, 1985, Regan declared a national emergency in the United States because of the threat to the security of the United States posed by the government of Nicaragua, which was two days' drive from Harlingen, Texas, and was planning to take over the hemisphere. If you take a look at that Executive Order, which was renewed annually as a way of building support for the U.S. War in Nicaragua, it has almost the same wording as the October 2002 congressional declaration on Iraq. Just replace Nicaragua with Iraq."
