Ted... Re...Sort of like that, if you define "the Bush administration was planning" to mean not that some people within the administration where pushing the idea and that contingency plans where drawn up but rather that Bush himself had decided to go ahead with the invasion of Iraq before 9/11.
No, I mean the administration was planning to invade Iraq. I don't care if it was two, three or twenty of them
The simple truth is that the DOD,and various other agencies, have departments,which draw up contingency plans for almost every country on earth, including many of our friends. That has happened under every administration, for a long time, both Dem. and rep. administrations. Being prepared is different from actually carrying them out. You do have contingency plans, to get your family out in case of fire, don't you. Would that mean, if your house actually did start on fire, you planned the fire? Same thing, different circumstances. |
