Bush Wanted To Invade Iraq If Elected in 2000

[LynnTheDem]

So he stole the 2000 election, had daddy's SC appoint & annoint him. And then he lied his invasion & occupation of Iraq.

“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.”

And bush says FUCK the 100,000+ dead Iraqis.

And bush says FUCK the 1260+ dead US & "coalition" uniformed men, women, & teenagers.

And bush says FUCK YOU to America.

1. This echos what Paul O'Neil said

They started planning the invasion from day one of the Bush administration.

2. I seem to recall Richard Clarke saying much the same

They were OBSESSED with Iraq from day 1.

4. Yep and before anyone disses the authors ...

Herskowitz is the columnist for Houston Chronicle. He's a Bush family friend. He's co-written numerous 'as-told-to' autobiographies for a slew of famous folks.

He was hired to co-author Bush's campaign autobiography A Charge to Keep; the president's father asked Herskowitz to write a biography of his father -- i.e., Prescott Bush, which he did (see Duty, Honor, Country: The Life and Legacy of Prescott Bush, 2003).

On top of that, the author of the piece, Russ Baker, is a journalist with an excellent reputation.

5. "POLITICAL BENEFITS"

Two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about the political benefits of attacking Iraq.


READ MY MIND, BUSH. . .

6. "...if I have a chance to invade..." DAMN! He was itching to pick a fight

back then, wasn't he? All that crap about how the war decision hadn't been made yet. What a LIAR. WHAT A JACKASS. F--- him. I'd say F--- him in the heart, if he had one. Burn in hell, bush, you monster.

7. The Great Untold Story

“He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind."

It has been well documented from sources like Paul O'Neill, Richard Clarke and many others that Bush was planning on invading Iraq from Day 1 in office. The plan to invade Iraq was part of the NeoCons' master blueprint for Imperial Conquest of the Middle East that went under the name "PNAC--Plan for a New American Century". The authors of this sick document of international plunder and endless wars include Dick Cheney, Donald Rumfeld, Richard Peale, Paul Wolfowitz and others working directing or indirectly in the Bush Administration.

Just do a Goggle search on PNAC and watch the all familar names pop up.

The Iraq invasion was no mistake...they wanted to do it all along knowing that Saddam had nothing to do with 911.

8. People weren't paying enough attention

I cried when they appointed him. I knew we were going to Iraq. I also knew that gas prices would skyrocket, with the oilmen in charge. I also predicted this man would start WWIII. We can't give him the chance to do that.
