Has anyone publicly tied the DSM together with what Paul O'Neil,

[Poiuyt]

Richard Clark, and Mickey Herskowitz (Bush's biographer - http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=123&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0) had said? There seems to be a preponderance of evidence that Bush was going to invade Iraq no matter what.

I remember before 9/11, when Bush's approval ratings were low, the talking heads were saying that Bush was not going to make the same mistakes his father had. George W had seen his father get very high numbers during the first Gulf war, but then lost them when the war was over. George W was beating the war drums against Iraq even before 9/11, and I remember thinking that he wanted to go to war with Iraq just to get political power.

6. And don't forget Frontline.

They were planning on invading Iraq before the chimp was installed. The evidence is stacking up.

7. That's what I got out of Paul O'Neil's book

right after it came on the market. Within a couple of weeks after taking office ( in early 2001), * wanted to know how to take Saddam out of office.

What is Paul O'Neil doing today? Toward the end of his book, he speaks very eloquently about safe drinking water for everyone on the planet. Is he still working toward that goal in Africa?

During the 200 election campaign, I told several friends, * (if elected) would create a war in Iraq before his illegal term was up. I always figured it was a way to show up 'daddy' for not going to Baghdad during the Gulf War.
