"I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq – that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11."

The full story By Joan Swirsky is here. Once you've read it, you may wonder just WTF is going on in Washington. Between the CIA leaks from anonymous sources to the flat out comments that aide and abet he enemy, it is obvious that there is a concerted effort from groups within our borders to hinder the successful completion of our mission in Iraq.
In Rockefeller's case, he was speaking to heads of state in the Middle East about actions the US might take months before we went to war. Just how much did he tell them? Could this be why tractor trailers were seen fleeing Iraq for Syria months before the invasion? Why is he (Rockefeller) still sitting on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence?
