This from the Downing St. Memo. Ted, to be objective, why don't you list all the possible reasons why this memo might be false? Go ahead, just for practice....

Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. What's amazing to me is that many Americans still believe that this war was built on anything but a sack of fabrications, exagerations, outright lies. Do we really need a british memo to tell us what should be amply obvious? Remember Paul O'Neil's book? Here's an insider who told us a year ago that bush came in with this saddam fixation. Remember Richard Clarke? He told us that bush was rhetorically "asking" him to find a connection. These revelations weren't enough? I think it's very damning for blair, because the memo is addressed to him and his cabinet. In other words, he is being told that bush is fixing intel around a preconceived war policy and he still commits britain to war. Man...that's explosive evidence of wrong doing. How's this guy holding on to his job? Al
