I think that you are correct. Bush did not make the decision alone. He had Wolfowitz, Cheney and a few others to help make the decision. According to his Mcclellan in his recent book Bush did think of Iraq after 9/11 but the plans to invade were formulated by all of those hawks who surrounded him. Tenant was dubious but he went along with the game plan as did Rice and others. Every one fell into line including Powell. And then there was Congress. Last night I watched a re play of the vote to go to war on TV.. Byrd of WV was the only one who said, we are rushing to judgement. Take it easy. It will be your sons and daughters who will die. We made a hasty decision on VN.. let us take our time on this one. He was listened to but his message was totally disregarded... I watched Hillary vote AYE.... It hurt to see all those who just got on board too quickly but if you listened to the rhetoric at the time... there was talk of a nuclear weapons and scary propaganda to make every one move..Besides in the climate after 9/11 everyone was angry.
