Yet more confirmation that Iraq war was a done deal by Nov. **2001**
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 06:47 PM by BurtWorm
The headline of this story is that Rumsfeld prohibited post-war planning for Iraq, on threat of firing. But pre-war planning was well underway by November 2001.

The number of witnesses against Bush et al. for impeachment is out the door and down the block.

"Then, just as we were barely into Afghanistan, Rumsfeld came and told us to get ready for Iraq."

Scheid said he remembers everyone thinking, "My gosh, we're in the middle of Afghanistan, how can we possibly be doing two at one time? How can we pull this off? It's just going to be too much."

Planning was kept very hush-hush in those early days.

"There was only a handful of people, maybe five or six, that were involved with that plan because it had to be kept very, very quiet."

There was already an offensive plan in place for Iraq, Scheid said. And in the beginning, the planners were just expanding on it.

2. A Deep Throat style whistle blower needs to come forward now
if they have information on Iran like what this general had on Iraq.

3. There is not a doubt in my mind that it was a "done deal" as soon as Bush
was handed the presidency. All he needed was any excuse, real or made up, to push it forward and make it palitable to the American public. When 9-11 occured it was exactly what BushCo and the neo-Cons needed to advance their agenda.
