Did not shrub once say F*** Sadam we're takin him out?

Does anyone remember who it was that said they were in a meeting when this happened. They also said that two senators were also in attendance. It sure would be nice to know who those senators are and to ask them if he did in fact say that.

1. It was in one of the many books written about him.

I want to say it was either Richard Clarke, Paul O'Niel or perhaps Woodward, but I can't remember right now.

3. Condi, of course...

"...In December of 2001 Bush met with General Franks, and rather than focus on Afghanistan -- the meeting's ostensible purpose -- Bush brought up Iraq. Daalder and Lindsay believe Bush had made up his mind by March of 2002, and they quote him saying to Rice: "Fuck Saddam. We're taking him out."

Bush offered his pithy judgment after sticking his head in the door of a White House meeting between National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and three senators who had been discussing strategies for dealing with Iraq through the United Nations. The senators laughed uncomfortably at Bush’s remark, Time reported.

Who were the three Senators?

9. From Cindy Sheehan's testimony at the DSM hearing

http://www.lewrockwell.com/sheehan/sheehan9.html

As a matter of fact, in interviews in 1999 with respected journalist, and long time Bush family friend, David Herskowitz, then Governor George Bush stated: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. 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.” It looks like George Bush was ready to lead this country into an avoidable war even before he became president.


Yeah, BIG FUCKING SUCCESS YOU WAR CRIMINAL

17. Roots in an unresolved Oedipal complex. Bush also told 41 to fuck off.

There is the famous incident when Shrub came home drunk one time and told HW to "fuck" off or "fuck you".

5. Time Magazine

As he marched the nation to war, Bush presented himself as a Christian man of peace who saw war only as a last resort. But in a remarkable though little noted disclosure, Time magazine reported that in March 2002 – a full year before the invasion – Bush outlined his real thinking to three U.S. senators, “Fuck Saddam,” Bush said. “We’re taking him out.”

Time actually didn’t report the quote exactly that way. Apparently not to offend readers who admire Bush’s moral clarity, Time printed the quote as “F--- Saddam. We’re taking him out.”

8. Let's not forget the HIGH-FIVES after his declaration of war.

Hesistant, my ass. Doesn't it amaze us all how the MSM really created Bush's myth of some Christian leader?

7. This statement combined with the statements he made

that Cindy Sheehan brought up in the Downing street minutes are pretty clear as to what this what this madman's intentions were from the very beginning.

10. Rice met with Biden on 3/6/02...

according to a press conference by Ari Fleischer. Determining who these three senators will be difficult,
if not impossible, to pin down, since it was a meeting on national security.

13. I found this:

"...CONTRARY to Blair's denials at the time, the decision to attack Iraq was set in motion on September 17 2001, just six days after the attacks on New York and Washington.

On that day, Bush signed a top- secret directive, ordering the Pentagon to begin planning "military options" for an invasion of Iraq. In July 2002, Condoleezza Rice told another Bush official who had voiced doubts about invading Iraq: "A decision has been made. Don't waste your breath."

16. Time magazine link .........

" F___ Saddam. we're taking him out." Those were the words of President George W. Bush, who had poked his head into the office of National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. It was March 2002, and Rice was meeting with three U.S. Senators, discussing how to deal with Iraq through the United Nations, or perhaps in a coalition with America's Middle East allies. Bush wasn't interested. He waved his hand dismissively, recalls a participant, and neatly summed up his Iraq policy in that short phrase. The Senators laughed uncomfortably; Rice flashed a knowing smile. The President left the room.
