LONDON, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- A secret memo just released alleges President Bush planned the Iraq war as just a first step in a crusade against weapons of mass destruction.

The Independent reports the memo was written in January 2003 by Michael Rycroft, British Prime Minister Tony Blair's personal secretary, and sent to Simon McDonald, the secretary for British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

The memo alleges in a phone call between the U.S. and British leaders, Bush said he "wanted to go beyond Iraq in dealing with WMD proliferation" and named Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and North Korea as objectives.

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are U.S. allies, and there has been no suggestion the United States planned to invade those countries, just deal with arms proliferation.
