1. Here's the beginning of the article
By Russ Baker


Two years before 9/11, candidate Bush was already talking privately about attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer.
Houston: Two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about the political benefits of attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer, who held many conversations with then-Texas Governor Bush in preparation for a planned autobiography.

“He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind. He said to me: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.’ And he said, ‘My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.’ He said, ‘If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency.”

2. Thanks, I had to leave before I could get it to copy. It's all there.
9/11 gave him the high political capital he needed to invade. This should be headline news. Baker has it on tape.
