UK Diplomat: Bush Wanted to Bomb Iraq Days After 911 (What Coinky Dink, Richard Clarke and Paul O'Neill Said the Same Thing!) |

"President George Bush first asked Tony Blair to support the removal of
Saddam Hussein from power at a private White House dinner nine days after
the terror attacks of 11 September, 2001. According to Sir Christopher
Meyer, the former British Ambassador to Washington, who was at the dinner
when Blair became the first foreign leader to visit America after 11
September, Blair told Bush he should not get distracted from the war on
terror's initial goal - dealing with the Taliban and al-Qaeda in
Afghanistan. Bush, claims Meyer, replied by saying: 'I agree with you, Tony.
We must deal with this first. But when we have dealt with Afghanistan, we
must come back to Iraq.' Regime change was already US policy.
It was clear, Meyer says, 'that when we did come back to Iraq it wouldn't be
to discuss smarter sanctions'. Elsewhere in his interview, Meyer says Blair
always believed it was unlikely that Saddam would be removed from power or
give up his weapons of mass destruction without a war. Faced with this
prospect of a further war, he adds, Blair 'said nothing to demur'.
Details of this extraordinary conversation will be published this week in a
25,000-word article on the path to war with Iraq in the May issue of the
American magazine Vanity Fair. It provides new corroboration of the claims
made last month in a book by Bush's former counter-terrorism chief, Richard
Clarke, that Bush was 'obsessed' with Iraq as his principal target after
9/11..."
