Quote:London - Britain started to plan the invasion of Iraq months before the conflict, even as Prime Minister Tony Blair was denying he was on a course for war, according to a report on Wednesday quoting a leaked Pentagon document.
Senior British and US commanders met at a war-planning session in June 2002 and orders to prepare actual military operations were given on October 7 2002.
Doesn't shock me -- I was onto them from the getgo.
Am I right in recalling that we actually spent a bunch of the money that was earmarked for Afghanistan on planning the Iraq war?
