I have a question for my readers from the USA and the UK.
This story in The Times talks about the leaked memo that contains evidence that both Bush and Blair had made up their minds to go to war in Iraq almost a year before the invasion. Some quotes from the memo dated 23 July 2002.
"Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
"It seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take military action, even if the timing was not yet decided. But the case was thin. Saddam was not threatening his neighbours, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran. "
Now obviously this is big news. It seems this is evidence that both Bush and Blair are guilty of the very thing Clinton was impeached for, only the subject of the lies in this case are far more serious. However, I have heard that this did not even make the headlines in the US. Can this be true? This should be front page stuff and apparently it was for the rest of the world.
So my question is, did this make headline news where you are? (or is Michael Jackson's court case still billing higher?)
