Just read this link about Iraq
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4849744.stm
This got my attention:
"The memo indicates both leaders acknowledged it was possible no unconventional weapons would be found in Iraq before the invasion, the New York Times says.
The note cites Mr Bush suggesting three ways in which Iraq could be provoked into confrontation.
The US "was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colours", Mr Bush said.
If Saddam fired on them, the Iraqis would be in breach of UN resolutions, he suggested.
He also indicated the US "might be able to bring out a defector" to talk about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, and mentioned a proposal to assassinate the Iraqi leader. "
So basically they were going to get someone to lie about the WMDs even though they knew there wasn't going to be any found. Provoking Saddam and making out it would be better for them if Saddam killed some kids as it would be a reason they could invade... Still think the war was for the good of the people?
