(9,314 posts)and the U.S. Government, one would think, could not substitute itself for the defendants during that time. I believe there is enough evidence to prove this was on the drawing board before the Bush* selection. Remember those infamous maps of the oil fields in Iraq that Big Oil was salivating to take over? And remember the book, The Price of Loyalty, by Ron Suskind and Paul O'Neill, Secretary of the Treasury?
On page 70, there starts a narrative about a meeting January 30th, ten days after the Bush* inauguration. Bush* made a few introductory remarks at a National Security Council meeting, and then turned the meeting over to Rice. He said she would be conducting these meetings for him. She opened up with the statement how "... Iraq is destabilizing the region." At the end of this specific narrative, O'Neill states it (meaning the meeting) was all about Iraq. Once again, this meeting happened ten days after the Bush* inauguration....
If one were to dig, I am sure there is a lot more than these two incidents I cite.
