Saddam was not threatening his neighbors, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran.” Nevertheless, Straw reports “that Bush had made up his mind to take military action.” Months later Bush was still publicly pretending that he hoped war would be unnecessary, and constantly implying he had secret intelligence to the effect that Saddam and bin Laden were...
