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.
President Bush said that:
"The US would put its full weight behind efforts to get another resolution and would 'twist arms' and 'even threaten'. But he had to say that if ultimately we failed, military action would follow anyway.''
Prime Minister Blair responded that he was: "solidly with the President and ready to do whatever it took to disarm Saddam."
But Mr Blair said that: "a second Security Council resolution would provide an insurance policy against the unexpected, and international cover, including with the Arabs." "

Glad you like being decieved. Do you also like being burgled or having your other half be unfaithfull or having money taken by fraud.. only you appear to be a masocistic sucker to me. Why bother with democracy & constitutions if you are so happy to be decieved ?Calm2Chaos said:So they did what was needed to get rid of a murdering dictator that sympathised with terrorist and terrorist organizations. And they did this as opposed to wasting another useless soon to be ignored resolution put forth by the powerless UN....It was just a matter of time, everybody knew that. The resolutions were not working and saddam was doing buisness as normal.
