******The White House memo******

[AGENDA21]

Revealed: Bush and Blair discussed using American Spyplane in UN colours to lure Saddam into war.

Channel 4 News tonight reveals extraordinary details of George Bush and Tony Blair's pre-war meeting in January 2003 at which they discussed plans to begin military action on March 10th 2003, irrespective of whether the United Nations had passed a new resolution authorising the use of force.

Channel 4 News has seen minutes from that meeting, which took place in the White House on 31 January 2003. The two leaders discussed the possibility of securing further UN support, but President Bush made it clear that he had already decided to go to war. The details are contained in a new version of the book 'Lawless World' written by a leading British human rights lawyer, Philippe Sands QC.

5. So did Britain.

Clare Short said that we bugged Kofi Annan himself.

6. Yes that's right

7. I found it all so amazing

It's like everybody knows the truth but nobody will do anything about it. Meanwhile the Bush mafia slowly takes control until there's nothing we can do.

9. This makes LIHOP a lot more likely in my book--

--WTF--Bush *was* conspiring before the war, why not 9/11, too? And it *absolutely* makes the "Bush-planned-to-plant-WMDs-in-Iraq" theories very plausible...
