> Bush Was Set on Path to War, Memo by British Adviser Says
> Published on Monday, March 27, 2006 by the New York Times

> by Don Van Natta Jr.
> LONDON — In the weeks before the United States-led invasion of  
> Iraq, as the United States and Britain pressed for a second United  
> Nations resolution condemning Iraq, President Bush's public  
> ultimatum to Saddam Hussein was blunt: Disarm or face war.
>
> But behind closed doors, the president was certain that war was  
> inevitable. During a private two-hour meeting in the Oval Office on  
> Jan. 31, 2003, he made clear to Prime Minister Tony Blair of  
> Britain that he was determined to invade Iraq without the second  
> resolution, or even if international arms inspectors failed to find  
> unconventional weapons, said a confidential memo about the meeting  
> written by Mr. Blair's top foreign policy adviser and reviewed by  
> The New York Times.
>
> "Our diplomatic strategy had to be arranged around the military  
> planning," David Manning, Mr. Blair's chief foreign policy adviser  
> at the time, wrote in the memo that summarized the discussion  
> between Mr. Bush, Mr. Blair and six of their top aides.
>
> "The start date for the military campaign was now penciled in for  
> 10 March," Mr. Manning wrote, paraphrasing the president. "This was  
> when the bombing would begin…."
>
> The memo indicates the two leaders envisioned a quick victory and a  
> transition to a new Iraqi government that would be complicated, but  
> manageable. Mr. Bush predicted that it was "unlikely there would be  
> internecine warfare between the different religious and ethnic  
> groups." Mr. Blair agreed with that assessment.
>
> 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...
>
> At their meeting, Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair candidly expressed their  
> doubts that chemical, biological or nuclear weapons would be found  
> in Iraq in the coming weeks, the memo said. The president spoke as  
> if an invasion was unavoidable. The two leaders discussed a  
> timetable for the war, details of the military campaign and plans  
> for the aftermath of the war…
>
> Without much elaboration, the memo also says the president raised  
> three possible ways of provoking a confrontation.”
