Their appearance together was the first since a recent revelation of the minutes of a high-level British government meeting in July 2002 - about eight months before the invasion of Iraq - in which a British official returning from talks in Washington reported that military action "was now seen as inevitable," that Bush "wanted to remove Saddam (Hussein) through military action," and that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

The so-called Downing Street Memo caused political tremors on the eve of Blair's re-election in May, but has had relatively little impact on the Bush administration, which flatly denies the contention that it doctored prewar intelligence about Iraq to support the March 2003 invasion.

"There's nothing farther from the truth," said Bush, suggesting that the Downing Street memo was "dropped" for political effect in the midst of Blair's re-election campaign. "My conversation with the prime minister was, `How could we do this peacefully? What could we do?'... Look, both us of didn't want to use our military."

Blair added, "No, the facts were not being fixed in any shape or form at all," noting that they had gone to the United Nations in the fall of 2002 seeking to give Saddam another chance to comply with outside weapons inspections. "He didn't do so. And that was the reason why we had to take military action.
