Revealed: Secret Memo Exposes How Bush and Blair Tried To Lure Saddam Into War.

"Channel 4 News tonight reveals extraordinary details of George Bush and Tony Blair's pre-war meeting in January 2003 at which they discussed plans to begin military action on March 10th 2003, irrespective of whether the United Nations had passed a new resolution authorising the use of force."

"Channel 4 News has seen minutes from that meeting, which took place in the White House on 31 January 2003. The two leaders discussed the possibility of securing further UN support, but President Bush made it clear that he had already decided to go to war. The details are contained in a new version of the book 'Lawless World' written by a leading British human rights lawyer, Philippe Sands QC."

Yet another piece of the puzzle is exposed. There's only a couple of excerpts here, but the most revealing is.....

President Bush said: "The US was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colours. If Saddam fired on them, he would be in breach."

This from a guy who claims to be on the side of the righteous. If only the rest of our government would have the balls Bush has, they'd have no problem indicting and convicting one of the most documented criminals to ever hold the high office. I'm sure there must have been other Presidents who were just as much a criminal, but this one leaves such a blatant trail of his crimes, he can survive only with the complicity of his dominant party, and a perpetually weak distracted opposition.
