Reminder: How the US came to go to Iraq

Hidden somewhat in a Washington Post report, this:

Quote:

In his testimony, Powell confirmed one claim by Clarke that Paul D. Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary who strongly supported U.S. military action against Iraq, suggested an attack on the government of Saddam Hussein during a meeting at Camp David just four days after the 2001 attacks.

Just four days after Osama bin Laden attacked the US on 9/11, Wolfowitz wanted to retaliate ... against Saddam Hussein.

According to Powell, Bush said no. Well ... kinda. President Bush "said first things first," Powell said. "He decided on Afghanistan."
