JOHO the Blog on pre-election Bush plan to oust Saddam

Just moments after I posted the below post,  I see this post by David W. 



Chip forwards a link to what may be an important article in the Sunday Herald that claims that the “regime change” in Iraq is part of a larger plan put together by Bush’s cronies before he took office: Bush planned Iraq ‘regime change’ before becoming President …….. 9:10 AM | PermaLink


If this is the case,  that is truly scary.  But then,  I thought it was scary before the election,  realizing who the new Bush administration was (which is,  a lot of the OLD Bush administration),   and some even worse things. 


I did a “Radio Express” thing on David W.’s post just after posting my “To oust Saddam or what?” post,  brought on by seeing the Salon post.  I expressed my immediate reactions,  posted the “but what if we can topple Saddam without war” suggestion, pointed to how the UN may be the right route,  but then considering the kind of rhetoric Bush and the administration has been using,  wondered if this weren’t just a “public face” to get approval for something that is going to be done anyway.   I go back to my News Aggregator and skim down further,  and there’s David W.’s post about the article in the Sunday Herald……..I think I just swung far in the direction of mistrust again,  and a great uncertainty about the direction these guys are taking us.
