WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

According to Paul O'Neill, the former Secretary of the Treasury, Bush was hell-bent on invading Iraq from Day 1 of his presidency. He said that Bush asked his cabinet to give him a good reason, or invent some reason, for invading Iraq.

And now you are saying the war could have been averted had Saddam been meek enough to cooperate.

What a crock!!!

It was Bush's preoccupation with wanting to attack Iraq that he deployed troops away from Afghanistan to fight in Iraq. Too bad, the now famous result of his unbridled optimism and presumptuousness is a huge embarrassment and humiliation for Bush and his neocons: they have fallen from the frying pan into the fire.

"All Saddam would have to have done is wait out the period when we were poised to invade. If he had acted all peaceful and cooperative then most of the American soldiers would probably have been pulled back."

Exactly right.
