AWB 'knew Iraq plans a year before'

23 November 2006

A YEAR before the invasion of Iraq, the then Australian ambassador to the United Nations, John Dauth, confidentially told AWB's former chairman Trevor Flugge the Howard Government would participate in miliary action with the US to overthrow Saddam Hussein, new AWB documents reveal.

AWB Board minutes show Mr Flugge told the AWB board on February 27, 2002, that Mr Dauth confided in him that he believed US military action to depose Saddam Hussein was inevitable and that the Australian Government would support and participate in such action, Fairfax newspapers report.

The documents, released at the Cole inquiry yesterday, undercut previous statements by Prime Minister John Howard that Australia did not agree to join the war before the UN debate in late 2002 and early 2003.

The conversation between Mr Dauth and Mr Flugge is reported to have taken place 13 months before the military action began.

1. there is ample evidence for this, IMO

Downing Street Memo, Richard Clarke, and on and on.

Impeach, and Indict for war crimes, or send the lot of them to the Hague to stand before the ICC.

2. And Jack Abramoff too

"It seems that the President was very sad to have to come out negatively regarding Israel but that they needed to mollify the Arabs for the upcoming war on Iraq." ~ March 18, 2002.

4. I think most everyone knows by now that BushCo had their Iraq plans . . .

pretty well set before the shrub was even elected . . . I mean selected . . . that in itself is sufficient reason to impeach -- although I'm still not convinced that, for purely practical reasons, impeachment is a wise way to proceed . . . I reserve the right to change my mind, however . . .

6. so , this is smoking gun number 19 or 20

This is oficially the ? number piece of evidence. How many will it take. Do we need to have something on a camera phone like the Michael Richards event for something to change?
