BLAIR, BUSH HAD SECRET 2002 IRAQ ATTACK PLAN

I see someone else is questioning why M$M hasn't covered this story, as I mentioned yesterday. According to Raw Story, Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) says he is disappointed the M$M has not touched the revelations.

"Unfortunately, the mainstream media in the United States was too busy with wall-to-wall coverage of a 'runaway bride' to cover a bombshell report out of the British newspapers," Conyers writes. The London Times reports that the British government and the United States government had secretly agreed to attack Iraq in 2002, before authorization was sought for such an attack in Congress, and had discussed creating pretextual justifications for doing so.

The
Times reports, based on a newly discovered document, that in 2002 British Prime Minister Tony Blair chaired a meeting in which he expressed his
support for "regime change" through the use of force in Iraq and was warned by the nation's top lawyer that such an action would be illegal, he adds. Blair also discussed the need for America to "create" conditions to justify the war.


Conyers says he is seeking an inquiry.
