The fact is that Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and many other hawks of the current adminstration drew up war plans years ago. They even published it. Now - shouldn't that be A HUGE NEWS STORY especially in the current climate of invading Iraq? Shouldn't EVERY MAJOR MEDIA OUTLET be talking about that, instead of merely parroting this "weapons of mass destruction" line from the president's press secretary? This should be HUGE. It should be a much larger story than Monica Lewinsky blowing Clinton. Instead, it is reported ONLY ONCE and at that on a midnight show. And believe me, it is NEVER likely to be reported again.
If the current adminstration essentially drew up their war plans 4 or 5 years ago to invade Iraq but are now lying to the American people that the invasion is only necessary now because of new "secret evidence of WMD' then that is a monumental lie. We are going to war for reasons of global hegemony and not to "protect the american people from Saddam's non existant WMD. " I hate to use the C word but that is the essense of conspiracy!!

There are contingency military plans to invade virtually every country on the earth including allies. This is as it should be. A friend today is tomorrows enemy. There is absoulutely nothing new about this fact. The niteline report is old news and has been around for quite some time.
