and neither did Shrub until after 911 Apparently the shrub was Iraq bound within ten days of being selected by Scalia. <font color=green>President Bush planned to overthrow Saddam Hussein from day one. It was discussed at the new administration's very first National Security Council meeting, which he attended. "From the start, we were building the case against Hussein and looking at how we could take him out and change Iraq into a new country," O'Neill told Suskind.</font>

Re: I believe they went to Iraq for two major reasons: oil and revenge for Papa. If you examine the membership and writings of the Project for a New American Century, you'll quickly realize that there are actually three pillars upon which the naked aggression against Iraq rests. And one of them is certainly not the notion of revenge for Papa. That was just a PR ploy. The three pillars of U.S. policy are 1) unbridled support for Ariel Sharon's regional land grab ambitions*, 2) The Pax Americana, aka The Evil Empire and 3) Iraq being the first major resource rich nation to fall to the rapacious empire which must necessarily continue to move ahead, just like an aggressive carnivorous shark, in order to sustain itself. The oil fuels the war machine. The war machine and the Empire are necessary in order to create Greater Israel. *A large percentage of the membership of PNAC hold dual citizenships, and (naturally) great loyalty to Israel. $$$$$$ See "Rebuilding America's Defenses", the PNAC planning document that called for the invasion of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya and Egypt in September, 2000: Message 18051067

Wolfowitz has been trying to sell the Iraq invasion since the first Gulf War. Clinton didn't buy it and neither did Shrub until after 911. Wolfowitz has been plotting against Iraq since the late 1970s. <<< An earlier Pentagon tour as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Regional Programs (1977-80), where he helped create the force that later became the United States Central Command and initiated the Maritime Pre-positioning Ships, the backbone of the initial U.S. deployment twelve years later in Operation Desert Shield >>> defenselink.mil Tom
