| Bush 'tried to lure Saddam into war using UN aircraft' |
| 2006-02-02 |
| PRESIDENT BUSH had plans to lure Saddam Hussein into war by flying an aircraft over Iraq painted in UN colours in the hope he would shoot it down, a book reveals. Mr Bush told Tony Blair of the extraordinary plan during a meeting in the White House on January 31, 2003, six weeks before the war started, according to an updated version of Lawless World by Philippe Sands, a human rights lawyer. He says the President made it clear that he had already decided to go to war, despite still pressing for a UN resolution. |

| #6 Yeah, back then it was definitely bad form to notice that the UN is a total waste of time, a den of corruption and vile scams, a fatally-flawed parody worthy of nothing but scorn. |

| #4 Surprised the Times prints tripe like this. This is more the Guardian style. Maybe Dan Rather helped them with authentication of the memo. |

| #1 Everyone knows this is false, as Bush was too busy listening to your personal telephone calls and flying UFOs. |
