New Documents Show Bush Administration Planned War in Iraq Well Before 9/11/2001

All of us knew it but couldn't prove it. Now we can prove it. Newly declassified documents published at the National Security Archive prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the Bush administration planned to topple Saddam Hussein and invade Iraq as early as January, 2001, and were making strategic plans and resource allocations as early as November, 2001.

January 30, 2001 – Bush administration principals (agency heads) meet for the
first time and discuss the Middle East, including Bush’s intention to disengage from the Israel-Palestine peace process and “How Iraq is destabilizing the region.” Bush directs Rumsfeld and JCS chairman Hugh Shelton to examine military options for Iraq; CIA director George Tenet is directed to improve intelligence on the country. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill and counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke are both struck by the emphasis on confronting Iraq, an aim consistent with Rumsfeld’s hiring of Wolfowitz and later Feith, well known for their bellicosity on the issue, for high-level Pentagon
positions.

Of course we all knew this already, but it's good to see it right there, in black and white. This proves the neocons were just looking for an excuse to invade Iraq, and they certainly snapped at the opportunity 9/11 gave them. So all Bush's chirping about stopping an evil man, protecting the world, freeing the Iraqi people from a tyrant were simply nonsense.

Yeah we already know, it is too late, no matter what we say, what is proven or not, it is too late, because people are already brainwashed to the point of no-return, when the return, by that time, Bush would be dead from natural causes.

There will be absolutely no accountability for anything in the US, the rich and powerful will always get away, while the poor go and spend 26 years in jail for absolutely no reason.

I have to agree this is all getting very Kafkaesque dont you think?
People waiting for nine years in guantanamo for a trial.....when the goverment knew at the get go they were innocents......Besides if somebody invades your country, and you fight to remove their presence, this makes you a patriot not a terrorist!
WE invaded THEM!
The double speak that the US goverment uses is utterly sickening.
They want to try and execute a boy who was fifteen yrs old at the time, for throwing a handgrenade that killed a us soldier...When it was the troops who were attacking the muslims!
Self defense is a right to all americans just nobody else.....

I've posted a thread that essentially said the same thing a while ago.
It is called :

War plans ready to go, days before 9-11 !

Yet nothing happens....

For another soon to be implemented and very disturbing issue, please visit the following thread:

Codex Alimentarius... it begins next april fools day.
People need to hear and or read about it. As it has major consequences.

Thank you for keeping this issue alive. .
