Flashback Sept 2002: Bush Planned Iraq 'Regime Change'
By Neil Mackay

15 September 2002: A SECRET blueprint for US global domination reveals that President Bush and his cabinet were planning a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure 'regime change' even before he took power in January 2001.

The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a 'global Pax Americana' was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

2. Bush "F*** Saddam, we're taking him out"
The diplomacy and the UN and the inspectors were all a sham.
And now we know from Paul O'Neill this was planned from January 2001 (per tonight's 60 minutes).

First Stop, Iraq
How did the U.S. end up taking on Saddam?
The inside story of how Iraq jumped to the top of Bush's agenda -
and why the outcome there may foreshadow a different world order
By Michael Elliott And James Carney
<BR>
"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 US 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."
