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."
