"I didn't want war." President * in answer to Helen Thomas
Straight up lie. In a 1998 or 1999 interview w/ the Houston Chronicle bush said that
unlike his dad that when he was President he would use his political capital wisely and
finish off Saddam.

Anybody have a link to that story?

In Bob Woodward's book on "Bush at War," bush, Rummy, Wolfie, and some others went to
the Pentagon situation room in 2001 (?) before he was sworn in and had an Iraqi war planning meeting.
I remember that because I could not finish the out takes of the book in the Washington Post's National
weekly after that.


And don't forget PNAC's mission statement and letters asking for an Iraqi war ..... How many of those
people wound up working in bush's white house, pentagon, and state dept?

Paul O'Neil wrote that he saw maps of Iraqi oil fields on Cheney's desk in March of 01.

sorry bush your legacy is cast.
