PAUL O'NEILL (SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY) SAID THAT BUSH SAID WITHIN DAYS OF MOVING INTO THE WHITEHOUSE IN 2001 THAT "WE'RE GOING TO WAR WITH IRAQ, AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO FIGURE OUT A REASON FOR US TO GO OVER THERE!"
DO YOU THINK BUSH WOULD HAVE EVEN STOOD A CHANCE AGAINST AL GORE HAD HE MENTIONED THE QUAGMIRE HE HAD IN MIND?

Bush would not have had a chance. He kept the Iraq card up his sleeve until he won the election.

no one ever suggested that Iraq had something to do with 9/11. in spite of if, Bush might link the two at the same time in his speeches, protecting "9/11" around the same time he might talk approximately "Iraq". it is an advertising gimmick. yet Bush isn't the 1st individual who seen invading Iraq. in case you bypass lower back a pair extra suitable years, John Kerry replace into pushing to invade Iraq, yet then-President Clinton did now not opt to bypass to conflict. genuine this is the deal. Al-Qaida's superb complaint replace into that the U. S. had air bases in Saudi Arabia, their "holy land". Iraq replace into now not seen extremely Muslim to diverse, extra suitable strict Arab international places, and so the gamble replace into that no one might care over there if we invaded it and equipped our air bases there as a replace. And so we did. At way too extreme a value, IMO, and that i do now not advise money.

And Clinton (that's right, we love to fallback on BC) signed legislation in 1998 to FUND groups who could overthrow Saddam Hussein.
Smack dab in the middle of MonicaGate. Did he believe in the legislation he was signing? Did he really want to get SH? Not really. He wanted to toss right-wing rotweillers a bone, a distraction.
Was ever there an American President more blackmail-ready than Clinton? Trusting him with National Security was as unnatural as HRC baking cookies.
1998, mate. That's when the game began.
Best wishes,

With all the lies he and his regime pawned off on the American people in order to invade and occupy Iraq, if he had guts he should have told those lies while running against President Gore.

He was preoccupied with folding his fingers together and saying "Here is the Church Here is the steeple Open the doors and see all the people"

First set up the game. Then invite the players. Next divide the profits. OK, ya lose a few voters. But sales of guns,body bags,and flag draped coffins go through the roof. Besides, you dummies who re-elected Bush won't get a chance to make that mistake again.

I don't believe Paul O'Neill. Bush was so busy with other
things, he wasn't even thinking about war until 9/11. War'
is so unpopular, why would any president want to have
to deal with something so horrible and something that would
make a president so unpopular? They sure wouldn't do it
to be "popular" with the public. I really, truly, think President
Bush thought someone had to do something after terrorists killed
over 3,000 innocent people, and he's the Commander in Chief
so it was up to him and him alone to retaliate. Wouldn't we all
be up in arms if he had just shrugged his shoulders and said,
"oh my, weren't they meanies".

Oh yea, the secretary of the treasury is someone I would trust with that kind of information. Oh yea, he's probably someone I'd tell my plans to immediately after being elected!
What are you??? INSANE! I have some free tickets for you to a documentary about how things really got started. It's called loose change......NOT!
