Bush knew there was no WMD before we invaded Iraq

No morals. No scruples. No decency:

Since then, The New York Times has reviewed the five-page memo in its entirety. While the president's sentiments about invading Iraq were known at the time, the previously unreported material offers an unfiltered view of two leaders on the brink of war, yet supremely confident.

The memo indicates the two leaders envisioned a quick victory and a transition to a new Iraqi government that would be complicated, but manageable. Mr. Bush predicted that it was "unlikely there would be internecine warfare between the different religious and ethnic groups." Mr. Blair agreed with that assessment.

The memo also shows that the president and the prime minister acknowledged that no unconventional weapons had been found inside Iraq. Faced with the possibility of not finding any before the planned invasion, Mr. Bush talked about several ways to provoke a confrontation, including a proposal to paint a United States surveillance plane in the colors of the United Nations in hopes of drawing fire, or assassinating Mr. Hussein.

Jeez. These guys have absolutely no moral compass. Their excuse for war was nonexistent. They knew it was..so they planned to provoke war by sneaking in some plane and getting Saddam to shoot at it.

This isn't the first time this has been reported. But its the first time its been confirmed by a US source.

The righties went into full court denial when the story broke the first time.

Now they're just going to go straight to bullshit attempts at historical revisionism.
