The Heretik reminds us of this March 2002 Bush quote:
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.”

When you’re reading The Downing Street Memo, keep in mind that this was the “policy” around which “intelligence” was fixed.

NPR covered the DSM tonight — although it seemed like they gave the administration the benefit of the doubt… sigh…
Agitprop:
A few weeks ago Democracy Now interviewed an Arab-American journalist who claims that Bush told him he would “take out Saddam” back during the 2000 campaign. This war was planned all along. 9/11 became the “Pearl Harbor” that they had always dreamed of.
