Woodward did not say Bush admin first talked of Iraq after 9-11 |

I found my copy of Bush at War. This quote is about a NSC meeting on 9-12-01:
"Before the attacks, the Pentagon had been working for months on developing a military option of Iraq. Everyone at the table believed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was a menace, a leader bent on acquiring and perhaps using weapons of mass destruction. Any serious, full-scale war against terrorism would have to make Iraq a target -- eventually. Rumsfeld was raising the possibility that they could take advantage of the opportunity offered by the terrorist attacks to go after Saddam immediately."
