Last 23 July, four days ago was the 7th anniversary of the

secret meeting in London that resulted in the so-called Bush

-Blair secret Iraq memo ( drawn up by the two architects of
the Iraq war at a follow-on meeting shortly afterwards) that
paved the way for the invasion of Iraq the following year.

On 23 July 2002, a top secret meetimg was held at the office

of Tony Blair to discuss proposed American suggestions on
how to remove Saddam Hussein from power. The meeting was
attended by British Intelligence top officials, the Foreign
Secretary, the Attorney-General and the PM. The persons at
the meeting were informed of the American intention to go
to war regardless of whatever outcomes in the UN's dealings
with Iraq. At the meeting, details were drawn up to enable
the UK government to participate in the planned military
attack on Iraq and to help to do everything possible to
justify the need for the attack.

In the meeting, it was decided to fix reports and statements

so that they would reconcile with the position taken by the
American side that war against Iraq was unavoidable. Such a
move was needed in order to bolster justification for the
impending military attack and win over public opinion.

The options to be used by the UK governemt were laid out and

discussed, including political and military or pre-invasion
measures that were needed. One important measure or step was
to manipulate the UN Inspection visits to Iraq. Iraq was to
be systematically accused of not providing all the required
'cooperation' to allow the UN inspectors to visit the country
and do their work. Those who were on the inspection team were
also to be made use of. Ultimatums would then be publicly
issued giving warnings of the 'inevitable'.

Word would be given out that Saddam was hiding WMD (weapons
of mass destruction) in secret locations, including inside
his palaces and he was planning to use them shortly.

All possible reasons and legal grounds for the attack were
explored and discussed. Besides accusing Iraq of failing to
cooperate with the UN, other reasons were to use the situation
inside Iraq itself as an excuse to invade and that Saddam was
deviously trying to harm his neighbours.

Furthermore, UK ground forces already in the Middle East would

carry out moves designed to provoke a response from the Iraqis
and thereby fan the flames of war.

All these were to prepare the UK public for war with Iraq.

To soften the country for the coming attack, Iraq was also
to be subjected to constant air interdictions. All efforts
to ensure that the planned invasion of the country would be
successful were explored. Baghdad was to capitulate on the
very first day of the invasion if it was possible.

The meeting also discussed what could possibly go wrong if

the invasion did not go as planned. Could countries like
Israel and Kuwait be targeted for reprisal attacks and what
if Saddam's half-starved nation actually had the ability to
fight back. Could heavy casualties be acceptable and so on.

Intelligence reports on the daily situation in Iraq were to

be exaggerated or altered to help manipulate the international
media as well as world opinion.

The meeting also discussed how critical it was to ensure a

total success as the Americans wanted to tie in the overthrow
of Saddam to the next American Congressional and presidential
elections. Failure was not seen as an option.

All the suggestions and options in the meeting were drawn up

and put together in a memo (since referred to as the Downing
Street memo) and given to only a select few in the British
Cabinet. The plans helped Tony Blair to lay out the final
steps for war in a later meeting with Bush.

Bush was very evil. In his meeting with Blair, he even thought
of sending in a US aircraft carrying UN markings over Baghdad
and allowing the Iraqis to shoot it down. Bush and Blair would
then jump up to their feet and demand the UN approve war.

Bush and Blair are two co-conspirators in the rape and killing
of Iraq in 2003. But these criminals are completely free of all
responsibility due to the political state of affairs evident
today. Instead their innocent victims are left to rue their
helpless misfortune to have lived in the same era as the two
demons. Other countries should learn from Iraq's misfortune
so that they could be spared the mindless destruction endured
by Iraq.

Bush and Blair surely gave new meaning to the word 'civilisation'.
Now we know the real meaning of this word. Bush and Blair were
true to their ancestors. Indeed they were doing exactly what
their fathers and grandfathers did during their time. Killing
the helpless and burying the innocent. Bush and Blair can
never be forgiven. They will surely roast in Hell forever.
