Bush Was Set on Path to War, British Memo Says - New York Times

Why am I not surprised that there is no denial?

Bush Was Set on Path to War, British Memo Says - New York Times:

"The memo indicates the two leaders envisioned a quick victory and a transition to a new Iraqi government that would be complicated, but manageable. Mr. Bush predicted that it was 'unlikely there would be internecine warfare between the different religious and ethnic groups.' Mr. Blair agreed with that assessment.

The memo also shows that the president and the prime minister acknowledged that no unconventional weapons had been found inside Iraq. Faced with the possibility of not finding any before the planned invasion, Mr. Bush talked about several ways to provoke a confrontation, including a proposal to paint a United States surveillance plane in the colors of the United Nations in hopes of drawing fire, or assassinating Mr. Hussein."

Boy, was he wrong about "internecine warfare between the different religious and ethnic groups" being unlikely. I'm glad I'm not a U.S. Senator (of either party).
