[Q]"People are trying to make a case that I said the president was planning war in Iraq early in the administration," O'Neill said. "Actually, there was a continuation of work that had been going on in the Clinton administration with the notion that there needed to be regime change in Iraq." [/Q]
Maybe because everyone is forgetting Bill Clinton signed a bill authorizing the United States to take steps to remove Saddam from power. So why wouldn't the NSC meet to talk about this early on in the administration.
[Q]But Tuesday O'Neill said, "I'm amazed that anyone would think that our government, on a continuing basis across political administrations, doesn't do contingency planning and look at circumstances." [/Q]
Yes, Mr. O'Niell contingency plans.......
So who is MISREPRESENTING THE TRUTH?
