"You said we're headed to war in Iraq -- I don't know why you say that"

More proof that this administration was always going to war... and would do anything to get there-

Guardian (UK): Bush told Blair we're going to war, memo reveals
Tony Blair told President George Bush that he was "solidly" behind US plans to invade Iraq before he sought advice about the invasion's legality and despite the absence of a second UN resolution, according to a new account of the build-up to the war published today.

A memo of a two-hour meeting between the two leaders at the White House on January 31 2003 - nearly two months before the invasion - reveals that Mr Bush made it clear the US intended to invade whether or not there was a second resolution and even if UN inspectors found no evidence of a banned Iraqi weapons programme...


One plan they had to force war involved this:
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."


Disgraceful. 2,245 Americans dead. Tens of thousands of civilians dead. Half a trillion dollars spent.

What has to be revealed before these people are held accountable for this?
