AP: DSM Memos Show British Fretting Over Iraq War

[Imagevision]

LONDON (AP) - When Prime Minister Tony Blair's chief foreign policy adviser dined with Condoleezza Rice six months after Sept. 11, the then-U.S. national security adviser didn't want to discuss Osama bin Laden or al-Qaida. She wanted to talk about ``regime change'' in Iraq, setting the stage for the U.S.-led invasion more than a year later.

Memo: ``U.S. scrambling to establish a link between Iraq and al-Qaida is so far frankly unconvincing for Iraq, `regime change' does not stack up. It sounds like a grudge between Bush and Saddam.''
