Bush Considered Flying US Spy Planes Painted With UN Colors Over Iraq In 2003 to Provoke War


British international law professor Philippe Sands, author of “Lawless World,” reveals President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair secretly agreed in January 2003 to invade Iraq in mid-March 2003 regardless of the outcome of diplomatic efforts.
New evidence has emerged that President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair agreed in January 2003 to attack Iraq regardless of whether diplomatic efforts succeeded. The revelation comes in a newly updated version of the book “Lawless World” by British international law professor Philippe Sands. According to the book, Blair offered Bush his full support of the war during a meeting at the White House in January 2003. Sands says his account is based on a summary of the meeting prepared by one of the participants. According to the book, Bush is recorded as saying that "the start date for the military campaign was now penciled in for 10 March. That was when the bombing would begin. The military timetable meant that an early resolution was needed."

Bush also reportedly said the "diplomatic strategy had to be arranged around the military planning". In addition the book reveals President Bush told Blair that the United Stated was considering flying U2 spy planes disguised as United Nations planes over Iraq in an attempt to provoke Saddam Hussein. If Iraq fired on the planes, it would help justify a U.S.-led invasion.

So again tell me Congress the invasion of Iraq wasn't clearly an impeachable offense, a violation of international law and a war crime? How can you be silent in the face of all of this?

Complicity through inaction.

1. one man I know has written to each of the dems requesting his money

that he will start sending it again ONLY when they have developed "a set of big ones". maybe that is a message we all need to send as they gear up for the election cycle.

2. the degree of illegality is really quite mind boggling

that could perhaps be more than half the problem

4. totally different subject

Read the OP and the article posted. It is about Bush flying (Not Bush himself of course he would/has avoid(ed) that) U2 Spy PLANES over Iraq to provoke war in 2003.

Nothing to do with UN vehicles in Texas.
Suggest reading interview at link or going to Dem Now website to hear interview.

5. So sorry, I meant to add something about the British soldiers being...

...caught with explosives-filled cars twice now in Basra. I think there's quite a bit of skullduggery involving mismarked UN vehicles in order to trick countries into military action. Sorry though!

6. Shrub isn't smart enough to think of an idea like this...

but he is enough of a perverse Sociopath to gladly go along with it.

8. Who could be that devious?

7. If they are at Pt. Beaumont, there is a good

possibility they are heading for Iraq (or some other Middle Eastern country), since P.B. is one of the major ports for shipping U.S. military stuff to the M.E. Of course, WP-Dubai, if approved, will be in charge of the port ops. This, even though sounding tin foil hat-like, could very well be another BushCo lie and deception piece.
