WASHINGTON - The Bush administration considered bombing Iraq (news - web sites) in retaliation almost immediately after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks against New York and Washington, according to a new first-person account by a former senior counterterrorism adviser inside the White House.

Richard Clarke, the president's counterterrorism coordinator at the time of the attacks, said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld complained on Sept. 12 — after the administration was convinced with certainty that al-Qaida was to blame — that, "there aren't any good targets in Afghanistan (news - web sites) and there are lots of good targets in Iraq."


A spokesman for Rumsfeld said he couldn't comment immediately.
