No, it's more like Bush who wishes he had the proof. Proof that there were WMD. I don't need any proof. Bush needs it. Because you don't start a war without the proof, see? The fact is that Bush's advisors, Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld, all PNAC members, and all authors of a plan to invade Iraq years before, persuaded Bush to invade. Only Powell remained skeptical. The fact the PNAC plan included ideas such as the need to galvanize Americans into action. That such support would likely need a "Pearl Harbor" like event to do so. The Bush administration then began the rhetoric that connected Saddam to Al Qaeda, so that the war on Terror was now converted to a war on Saddam. The writings of these men is the smoking gun on the issue of motive. None more needs to be said about that. The criminal needs three things: motive, means and opportunity. The motive has been clearly laid out by the criminals themselves, in their own writings. The means is the control of the largest armed force on the planet. The opportunity presented itself in the form of 9-11. A little bending of the truth was needed to convince the American public that Saddam was involved. In fact 7 out of 10 Americans believed that Saddam was responsible for 9-11. We have motive, means and opportunity. The ground work was laid for the crime of the century. The Project for a New American Century. Orca
