Two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about the political benefits of attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer, who held many conversations with then-Texas Governor Bush in preparation for a planned autobiography.

“He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind. He said to me: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.’ And he said, ‘My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.’ He said, ‘If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency.”

7. Naw lets let him squirm until Jan. 20th then throw his lying ass in jail

To be tried for war crimes, and he is deserving. I want to see a public hanging after the trial...I for one am tired of being lied to day after day by this bunch in the whitehouse.

3. I know this quote is accurate because:

1. Bush is sufficiently evil to use war as a means to push his agenda and get reelected and
2. Sufficiently evil and dumb to fail to realize that it isn't the best politics to admit No. 1.

Where can it go from here, hidden away in the comfortable corners of DU?

6. Get this to the front page!!!

I am assuming that this information is true. This has to be publicized immediately. How do we make this known to the rest of the world?

10. Didn't everybody know this in 99?

This was the most predictable part of that particular asshole's strategy. The fools that voted for him are as much to blame. The entire 4 years was easily predicted, including the terror attack, the warning of which they chose to ignore on purpose. The bastard is a cancer.
