One of the more fascinating documents to have emerged from the shadows since the Iraq War concept first took shape is what is now known as the "Downing Street Memo". This is the minutes of a meeting from the Summmer of 2002. The minutes have been published in UK newspapers, and the British government has not denied the accuracy of what has been published, so for the time being we have to assume that the published minutes are an accurate record of what actually occurred.
If this is true, then we are dealing with the possibility that the decision to invade Iraq was taken as early as the Summer of 2002, and all of the maneuvering, attempts to get additional UN resolutions etc. that followed were merely a smokescreen - a means of building enough support for the implementation of a decision that had already been taken.
If this is true, then both the US and British governments have been guilty of a stunning level of deception.
