Here is a direct link (http://www.flashbunny.org/content/misled.html) to the, um-mm...rather boring flash presentation.

Once again, the Clinton administration did not filter through intelligence data, nor harass intelligence agents into presenting evidence that only supported their already foregone conclusion that they were going to invade Iraq no matter what.


(former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill) and other White House insiders have given the journalist Ron Suskind documents for a new book, The Price Of Loyalty, revealing that as early as the first three months of 2001 the Bush administration was examining military options for removing Saddam Hussein.

“There are memos,” Suskind told CBS. “One of them marked ‘secret’ says ‘Plan for Post- Saddam Iraq’.”

Another Pentagon document entitled Foreign Suitors For Iraqi Oil Field Contracts talks about contractors from 40 countries and which ones have interests in Iraq.

O’Neill is also quoted in the new book saying the President was determined to find a reason to go to war and he was surprised nobody on the National Security Council questioned why Iraq should be invaded.

“It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it,” said O’Neill. “The President saying, ‘Go find me a way to do this.’”
