Didn't Bush lie again when he said to Brian Williams that he never
considered removing Saddam until AFTER 9/11? Everyone knows and the record shows that he came into office, he and Condi talking about regime change in Iraq.

6. There are some who will admit it.
Bush took office in January 2001 - and in his first three months in power, officials were already looking at military options to remove Saddam from power, according to documents that O'Neill and other White House insiders gave author Ron Suskind.
Check out the Suskind book.

7. Did words come out of his mouth? If so, he was lying.
It would be news if Bush told the truth. Because of his unsophisticated style of speaking, he somehow got the image of being a "straight shooter," but in fact he is the opposite. He is a weasel.

8. Paul ONeal said Bush stated that he was going to take Saddam
Edited on Wed Aug-30-06 08:20 PM by patrice
Hussein out at his first cabinet meeting. I think ONeal was Secretary of the Treasury at the time. He wrote about this in his biography.

On edit: I just checked; it was his biography.

9. According to his biographer, Bush talked of invading Iraq in 1999
Houston: Two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about the political benefits of attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer, who held many conversations with then-Texas Governor Bush in preparation for a planned autobiography.

“He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind. He said to me: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.’ And he said, ‘My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.’ He said, ‘If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency.”
