More evidence, Bush lied.

The Times (not the New York, the London) does it again. This time they report on a July 2002 meeting where this was learned.
.
The warning, in a leaked Cabinet Office briefing paper, said Tony Blair had already agreed to back military action to get rid of Saddam Hussein at a summit at the Texas ranch of President George W Bush three months earlier.

The briefing paper, for participants at a meeting of Blair's inner circle on July 23, 2002, said that since regime change was illegal it was "necessary to create the conditions" which would make it legal.


This Memo is clear, War was the one and only goal of this administration.


So we have more confirmation that backs up the crux of the Downing Street Memo. We see more evidence that the war was desired as early as the spring and summer of 2002, despite Bush's lies otherwise. We see that the British did consider it a violation of international law, and we again see confirmation that we were engaged in a game to try to goad Saddam into war.

This demands action. Visit After Downing Street, they off a number of direct actions that you should consider. These include, Writing to Your Congressman or Senator, Signing Conyers' Letter demanding an investigation, Sign Kennedy's Petition or Contacting the Media. Without action the truth will be burred by Bush and his staff. The only way the truth will be discovered is if the people act.

The first memo came out a couple of weeks prior to the election, and Tony did take a beating in the polls.

I don't think he will be serving at this time next year. I expect his party to replace him.
