http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2004-01-11-oneill-iraq_x.htmI first heard about the early plans for an invasion (around 1999) on the PBS
program "Frontline." One of their sources was Mickey Herskowitz, Bush's biographer at the time. There are many sources that Bush planned an invasion in 2000 prior to 9/11, most notably from his treasury secretary, Paul Simon. I don't have the European links available, I'm not sure how to do searches of international media outlets.Jake
