Insider Paul O'Neill Speaks About Bush's WMD Claims,

Caught off guard without all his handlers in Mexico,
Bush admitted he was a lying sack of ***** regarding
America's reasons for invading Iraq. He was only
milking the tragedy of 9-11 to get his way.
He was planning to invade BEFORE 9-11, just as
O'Neill said.
Funny, we never heard that before.

Bet you NEVER heard this, did you?

Mr Bush said:
"we were for regime change...
We were fleshing out policy along those lines
and then September 11 happened and...."

Oops. He was only playing us, he was only
milking our national tragedy. Just as was
written in the PNAC document BEFORE he took
office, all they needed was another "Pearl
Harbor" to milk. 9-11 was that "Pearl
Harbor."

Bush never missed a step, did he?

Bush admits he wanted regime change before 11 September

MARGARET NEIGHBOUR

THE United States president, George Bush, yesterday appeared to
support claims made by one of his former advisers that he was intent
on invading Iraq long before the 11 September attacks triggered a more
aggressive focus to US foreign policy, saying his administration was
"for regime change".

Speaking during a visit to Mexico, Mr Bush said that, while US policy
altered after the terror attacks on New York and Washington, his
government had inherited plans to remove Saddam Hussein as leader of
Iraq from the previous Clinton administration.

His comments came as White House officials sought to play down
statements made by the former treasury secretary Paul O’Neill about Mr
Bush’s policy on Iraq.

Mr O’Neill said ousting Saddam was a top priority from the first
National Security Council meeting he attended soon after Mr Bush took
office in January 2001.

"From the very beginning, there was a conviction that Saddam Hussein
was a bad person and that he needed to go," Mr O’Neill said on Sunday.

"For me, the notion of preemption, that the US has the unilateral
right to do whatever we decide to do, is a really huge leap."

Yesterday, Mr Bush’s spokesman, Scott McClellan, rejected Mr O’Neill’s
criticism. "The president exhausted all possible means to resolve the
situation in Iraq peacefully," he said. "Saddam Hussein has been a
dangerous man for a long time."

But speaking after a meeting with the Mexican president, Vicente Fox,
Mr Bush said: "Like the previous administration we were for regime
change...
We were fleshing out policy along those lines and then September 11
happened and, as president of the United States, my most solemn
obligation was to protect the security of the American people.

"I took that duty very seriously and not only did we deal with the
Taleban, we got working through the United Nations and the
international community and made it clear that Saddam should disarm."

Mr Bush said the US had acted to remove Saddam after he had ignored
the warnings to disarm. "Now he is not in power and the world is
better for it," he added.

Mr O’Neill, who was sacked in December 2002 as part of a shake-up of
Mr Bush’s economic team, has become the first major Bush
administration insider to attack the president.

He likened Mr Bush at cabinet meetings to "a blind man in a room full
of deaf people".

We knew it. The PNAC document "conspiracy theory"
was right.
Yawn.
