The Downing Street "Memo" is actually the minutes of a meeting, transcribed during a gathering many of the British Prime Minister's senior ministers on July 23, 2002. Published by The Sunday Times on May 1, 2005 this document was the first hard evidence from within the UK or US governments that exposed the truth about how the Iraq war began.

...



* Bush’s long-standing intent to invade Iraq
* Bush’s willingness to provoke Saddam (in a variety of ways) into providing a pretext for war
* The fact that the war effectively began with an air campaign nearly a year before the March 2003 invasion and months before Congressional approval for the use of force
* The administration’s widespread effort to crush dissent and manipulate information that would counter its justification for war
* The lack of planning for the war’s aftermath and a fundamental lack of understanding of the Iraqi society
