That Bush had decided to invade Iraq no matter what is hardly news

The January 2003 memo is the latest in a series of secret memos produced by top aides to Mr. Blair that summarize private discussions between the president and the prime minister.

yeah, it's nice that what we have known for many, many months has now been further confirmed by her gray eminence, the nyt, but, at this point, it's a yawner... with the evidence of flat-out lies already overwhelming and the polls showing that a vast majority of the american people have snapped to the fact that we've been deliberately lied to, tell me why bush's ship of state is still sailing merrily along...
During a private two-hour meeting in the Oval Office on Jan. 31, 2003, [Bush] made clear to Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain that he was determined to invade Iraq without the second [UN] resolution, or even if international arms inspectors failed to find unconventional weapons.

even the most shocking part of the memo is old news...
The memo also shows that the president and the prime minister acknowledged that no unconventional weapons had been found inside Iraq. Faced with the possibility of not finding any before the planned invasion, Mr. Bush talked about several ways to provoke a confrontation, including a proposal to paint a United States surveillance plane in the colors of the United Nations in hopes of drawing fire, or assassinating Mr. Hussein. Those proposals were first reported last month in the British press . . .

let me repeat my oft-asked question... just what the hell is it gonna take to get these criminals out of office...?
