Iraq was to be just the beginning...and Saudi Arabia was in the cross hairs!

from Bush Told Blair of 'Going Beyond Iraq':

George Bush told Tony Blair shortly before the invasion of Iraq that he intended to target other countries, including Saudi Arabia, which, he implied, planned to acquire weapons of mass destruction.

Mr Bush said he "wanted to go beyond Iraq in dealing with WMD proliferation, mentioning in particular Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan," according to a note of a telephone conversation between the two men on January 30 2003.

It would've been interesting to hear/see how Bush justified going after Saudi Arabia, given that he's been best-buds with the Saudi royal family, gladly accepting their money for corporate buyouts and campaign spending. No wait, candidates aren't allowed to take foreign money for campaigns. My mistake. He might also have to explain why he helped a whole bunch of bin Laden family members get home to Saudi Arabia in the days after 9/11/2001. Though that probably wouldn't take too much spin on one of his most favorite phrases: "I sent them home so that we don't have to fight them here." So how the President have done it? How would he have betrayed his family's close friends, gone after their leadership and their oil? With the occupation in Iraq struggling and the President's approval rating now at 38%, it appears we will never know.
