New 'Downing Street Memo' says Bush, Blair agreed on 'regime change' in 2002
"Something even more damning" which the US media won't cover.
Britain's Sunday Times has scooped its rivals again with the news - and the text of - a leaked, extremely secret British Cabinet Office briefing paper dated July 23, 2002.
Prepared for WH poodle Tony Blair and his closest advisers, this newly discovered document clearly states that "since regime change was illegal, it was 'necessary to create the conditions' which would make it legal."
The Times' news story, written by defense reporter Michael Smith, about the newly discovered, secret briefing paper noted that it had confirmed that Blair "had already agreed to back military action to get rid of Saddam Hussein at a summit at the Texas pseudo-ranch of President George W. Bush three months earlier."
In his news article, Smith explained that fabricating conditions for going to war "was required because, even if ministers decided Britain should not take part in an invasion, the American military would be using British bases. This would automatically make Britain complicit in any illegal US action."
