Titolo: Ma quale guerra al terrorismo!

Bob Woodward, il direttore del Washington Post (gia' scopritore del
Watergate)
ha affermato (nel suo libro Bush at War) che il 10 settembre 2001
Cheney ha affermato che "visto che probabilmente non prenderemo Bin
Laden, perche' non cogliamo l'occasione e attacchiamo Saddam?"
Ora questo trova conferma.
Altro che "guerra al terrorismo".

Blair 'delayed US strike on Iraq'
US President George Bush was persuaded by UK Prime Minister Tony Blair
not
to attack Iraq in the immediate aftermath of the 11 September
terrorist
attacks, it has been claimed.
According to a former British ambassador to Washington, the US
president
had come under intense pressure from some in his own military to
attack
Saddam Hussein in the days after the 2001 terrorist outrages in the
US.
But, said Sir Christopher Meyer, when Mr Blair met the US president at
his
Camp David retreat a few days later he succesfully argued for al-Qaeda
and
the Taleban regime in Afghanistan to be confronted first.
"Tony Blair's view was: 'Whatever you're going to do about Iraq, you
should concentrate on the job at hand and the job at hand was get
al-Qaeda, give the Taleban an ultimatum'," Sir Christopher said.
The former ambassador was speaking on a documentary that will be
screened
on the PBS network in America on Thursday.
Called Blair's War, it looks at the prime minister's attempts to try
and
maintain an alliance against Saddam Hussein.
'Leave Iraq'
He said that after listening to Mr Blair's argument, Mr Bush decided
to
"leave Iraq for another day".
Sir Christopher also said that after the Taleban had been removed from
power, Mr Blair told the US leader he would need to exhaust peaceful
options before he could attack Iraq.
He said the prime minister had offered to act as an envoy to try and
persuade European leaders to back a US attack.
"Blair said: 'If you want to do this you can do this on your own, you
have
the military strength to go into Iraq and do it, but our advice to you
is
even a great superpower like the US needs to do this with partners and
allies'," Sir Christopher said.
He added that many world leaders were alarmed after Mr Bush announced
plans for a pre-emptive strike on Saddam Hussein's regime.
Sir Jeremy Greenstock, Britain's current ambassador to the United
Nations,
has also been interviewed in the programme, and he said diplomats had
failed to fix divisions in the Western alliance after the first
resolution
had been passed.
"They were differences which we knew about, looking back, I think that
was
a mistake of diplomacy that we didn't try and deal with those nuances
that
turned in to ravines by the end of the game."
He said he had been especially surprised that France continued to
oppose
military action.

 
Non mi sembra una grande scoperta. Credo gli USA si siano pentiti di 
non avere fatto fuori Saddam il giorno dopo la fine della prima guerra 
del golfo.

Certo che c'entra con il terrorismo, e anche molto. Vista l'alta 
considerazione per chi non supporta le tue teorie questa č l'ultima 
mia risposta che ricevi, non credo piangerai visto che sono un 
gonzo.
