Bush told Blair that he was going to Invade Iraq even if no WMDs are Found

Weeks before the invasion of Iraq, G.W. Bush told Tony Blair, that he intended to invade Iraq, "Even if UN inspectors did not find any evidence of WMDs there." Bush even suggested to make US planes look like UN planes and fly them over Iraq to tempt them to shoot them down so he could have an excuse to go to war with Iraq.

They fed me the names of Contra pilots. Again and again, those names showed up in the DEA database as documented drug traffickers. When I pursued the case, my superiors quietly and firmly advised me to move on to other investigations."
