There is now in the public record a large body of evidence that vividly illustrates:

Bush’s long-standing intent to invade Iraq

Bush’s willingness to provoke Saddam (in a variety of ways) into providing a pretext for war

The fact that the war effectively began with an air campaign nearly a year before the March 2003 invasion and months before Congressional approval for the use of force

The administration’s widespread effort to crush dissent and manipulate information that would counter its justification for war

The lack of planning for the war’s aftermath and a fundamental lack of understanding of the Iraqi society
