The Bush spin doctors have outdone themselves with their claim that seeking ALL the facts that lead to the Iraq War is an attempt to CHANGE HISTORY. Nothing could be further from the truth. Learning ALL the intelligence that was available before we went to war is to COMPLETE the history of how we got into this war not change history.
There is no question George W. Bush intended to invade Iraq from the very beginning of his Administration. At his First cabinet meeting the invasion of Iraq was discussed according to then Secretary of Treasury Paul O’Neill. That was nine months BEFORE 9/11.
So far we have learned that much of the intelligence that Bush used as justification for our invasion was provided by Ahmet Celebi, a convicted felon who wanted the United States to remove Saddam so he could assume a position of power in Iraq. Congress was not made aware that this person, was the source of much of the so called intelligence Bush sighted for reasons to go to war. There are reports of other intelligence that did not support the Bush rational for war that existed PRIOR to passing the war resolution that Congress was not made aware of.
The Phase II Intelligence Committee report must document ALL the intelligence that existed PRIOR to going to war and learning why ALL that intelligence, including the information that DID NOT support the Bush arguments, were not known by Congress before they allowed Bush to invade Iraq. That will be completing the history of the Iraq War NOT rewriting the history of the Iraq War as the Bush spin doctors claim.
