Quoted:
"Bush spoke to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld at that time "about planning related to Iraq."
But there is a difference between planning and making a decision to go to war"
K - no there isnt! Well, not in the big picture. It was Einstien who said something like "Planning for war means you are not planning for peace"
There was a lot of 9-11 implications being part of the plan for war. I remember Wolfowitz or Rumsfeld saying in 1991 after the first Gulf War that "going all the way into Baghdad would need a Pearl Harbour, but on American soil".
That gets clearer with these quotes:
"The process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor" (2000)
-- Project for a New American Century
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." - David Rockefeller
All of that was learned from the hero of global dominators everywhere, Hitler, who gives us this this quote:
"Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death."
