Ignored Aug, 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Briefing entitled "bin Laden Determined to attack", along with GWB telling a CIA agent "ok, you've covered your ass now" = LIHOP. There is no other conclusion. Period.
It's all part of the 'Grand Neocon Plan' of world domination through military superiority. The war in Iraq was in planning stages since Clinton was President. How long do you think the neocons have been infiltrated into out government?
I think a lot of this was supposed to start in Poppy's second term, but Clinton threw a wrench in their works when he got elected. That's why they fought tooth & nail to get rid of him. Hell, they were trying to do away with the ICC treaty 2 days after Clinton signed it...

MEMORANDUM TO: OPINION LEADERS
FROM: GARY SCHMITT
SUBJECT: International Criminal Court
On the last day of 2000, President Clinton signed the International Criminal Court convention, a treaty which the president himself admits is flawed and which he has no intention of submitting to the Senate for its ratification. The president did so, he said, in order to put the U.S. in a position to help correct the treaty’s imperfections. But the ICC accord is not just flawed -- it is fatally flawed -- and the best policy is for the U.S. to reject the treaty simply. Without America’s participation, the ICC will die on the vine.
More than two years ago, at the conclusion of the conference in Rome which finalized the treaty’s terms, we voiced our concern that the Clinton Administration would continue to try and fix the un-fixable. As we argued then, whatever the respectable motives behind the creation of the International Criminal Court, we should not let those blind us to the fact that the preservation of a decent world order depends chiefly on the exercise of American leadership. For both geo-political and constitutional reasons, we should not be in the business of delegating that leadership or compounding the difficulties of its exercise by creating unaccountable, supra-national bodies.
We also circulated at the time a statement on the ICC made by John Bolton, vice president of the American Enterprise Institute and a Project director, before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (July 23, 1998). No major, substantive change has been made to the treaty’s terms since. Bolton’s statement still stands as a thorough and devastating critique of the proposed court. An edited version of that statement follows.
