Plans to attack Iraq began on 9/11. I have read that Rumsfeld and Perle had it on the table before 9/11


Plans to attack Iraq probably predate the Bush presidency but were put on the shelf due to domestic political considerations. Certainly Pres. Clinton recognized Saddam's danger.

"Predators of the twenty-first century," Clinton warned, speaking four and a half years ago, "will be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. ... There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein's Iraq." And if the world were to allow Saddam to continue to construct his terrible weapons? "Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will," Clinton declared. "He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day, some way, I guarantee you, he'll use the arsenal."
