Bush, Iraq and 9/11
What
Condoleezza Rice is Hiding
By LARRY EVEREST
From: OIL,
POWER & EMPIRE: IRAQ AND THE U.S. GLOBAL AGENDA (Common
Courage Press 2004), Chapter 1: "Go Massive. Sweep It All
Up."
Overthrowing the Hussein regime in Iraq was a
key focus for the Bush administration - and a far more urgent
priority than al Qaeda - both before Sept. 11 and after, because
doing so was viewed as essential to maintaining the U.S. position
in the strategic Persian Gulf and to implementing the administration's
vision of asserting U.S. power more forcefully around the world.
In short, the Bush administration used the horror of Sept. 11
to implement regional and global strategies in the works for
nearly a decade, whose objectives never centered on protecting
Americans. Here are the facts, which corroborate the revelations
of Paul O'Neill and Richard Clarke, and which are essential to
understanding why the U.S. is now in Iraq:
* Half of Bush, Jr.'s first national
security meeting was spent on Iraq and the Persian Gulf.
* At the Pentagon, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz
immediately began studying military options for ousting Hussein.
* The Wall Street Journal reported: "when
the Bush administration took office in 2001, officials at the
Pentagon immediately began peppering intelligence agencies with
requests for studies on Baghdad's links to terrorism. At a meeting
of senior administration officials in April 2001 to  discuss al Qaeda, a top Defense
Department official asked Mr. Clarke [the National Security Council's
counter-terrorism coordinator] about whether Iraq had connections
to Mr. bin Laden's group. Mr. Clarke said no, according to two
people in the room."
* In July 2001, the Wall Street Journal
reported that, "Senior officials have held almost weekly
meetings on the issue to discuss whether to push for the [Hussein]
government's ouster."
* In August 2001, the U.S. launched its
most savage air attack on Iraq in six months.
* The Washington Post reports that the
week before Sept. 11, Vice President Cheney was "worried
about the strength of our whole position in the Middle East -
where we stood with the Saudis, the Turks and others in the region."
* Some five hours after hijacked jets
crashed into the World Trade Center and then the Pentagon, Defense
Secretary Rumsfeld told an aide to begin drawing up plans for
war -- on Iraq (despite the fact that that afternoon the CIA
concluded that it was "virtually certain" that the
bin Laden network was responsible, not Iraq or other states).
Rumsfeld wanted to know if U.S. intelligence was also "good
enough hit S.H. [Saddam Hussein] at same time. Not only UBL [OBL
- Osama bin Laden]." His admonition: "Go massive. Sweep
it all up. Things related and not."
* On September 12, 2001, Bush's "war
cabinet" began discussing Iraq. According to the Washington
Post, these discussions centered on whether to "take advantage
of the opportunity offered by the terrorist attacks to go after
Hussein immediately." Bush's top advisors reportedly agreed
in principle, but there were differences over timing.
* On September 17, 2001, after six days
of debate, the Bush team decided not to strike Iraq. The reasons,
contrary to Rice's assertions of an exclusive focus on al Qaeda
and Sept. 11, were for tactical, not strategic, reasons. According
to the Washington Post, they felt they would "need successes
early in any war to maintain domestic and international support."
Bush told Bob Woodward, "[I]f we could prove that we could
be successful in this theater [Afghanistan], then the rest of
the task would be easier. If we tried to do too many things -
two things, for example, or three things - militarily, then ...
the lack of focus would have been a huge risk."
* On September 17, 2001, Bush signed
secret orders authorizing war on Afghanistan and instructing
the Pentagon to begin planning for battle in Iraq.
* On September 19-20 the Pentagon's Defense
Policy Board met behind closed doors to, according to The New
York Times, assess "the geopolitical significance of the
attacks and chart a U.S. response." After 19 hours of discussions,
"The group agreed on the need to turn on Iraq as soon as
the initial phase of the war against Afghanistan was over."
* Following the meeting, former CIA chief
James Woolsey was dispatched to London on "a mission,"
The New York Times reports, to gather "evidence" linking
Hussein to the September 11 attacks.
* On September 20, 2001, Defense Policy
Board members and other prominent right-wingers with close links
to the administration drafted an open letter to President Bush
that argued, "Even if evidence does not link Iraq directly
to the [September 11] attack, any strategy aiming at the eradication
of terrorism and its sponsors must include a determined effort
to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. Failure to undertake
such an effort will constitute an early and perhaps decisive
surrender in the war on international terrorism."
* According to reports in The Wall Street
Journal, USA Today, and The New Republic, the Bush administration
had secretly decide to move against the Hussein regime by late
October or early November 2001, some seven weeks after Sept.
11 and following the defeat of the Taliban. By then, Vice President
Cheney, who the Wall Street Journal called Bush's "war counselor,"
had joined Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz in urging war on Iraq.
* In December 2001, The New Republic
reported after late October 2001 the debate within the Administration
was no longer over "whether to extend the war to Iraq --
that question has largely been settled."
* On September 12, 2002, USA Today reported,
President Bush's determination to oust
Iraq's Saddam Hussein by military force if necessary was set
last fall...he decided that Saddam must go more than 10 months
ago; the debate within the administration since then has been
about the means to accomplish that ....The course advocated by
Rumsfeld and Cheney became policy, despite concerns by Powell
and others...But whatever the response, aides say Bush's determination
to oust Saddam--the decision he made in the seven weeks following
the attacks on Sept. 11--hasn't wavered.
