A classified report obtained by the Washington Times includes a timeline of events related to Iraq.
It says that on Aug. 29, 2002, Mr. Bush "approves Iraq goals, objectives and strategy."
8 days earlier, Bush and Rumsfeld had this to say about media speculation on Iraq war plans:
THE PRESIDENT: Well, look, if you're asking -- are you asking about Iraq? The subject didn't come up in this meeting.I know there is this kind of intense speculation that seems to be going on, a kind of a -- I don't know how you would describe it. It's kind of a churning --
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Frenzy.
THE PRESIDENT: Frenzy is how the Secretary would describe it. But the subject didn't come up.
Bush approved Iraq war strategy in August '02 (09.03.2003)
Next Entry: California or Iraq? (09.08.2003)
Previous Entry: It sucks being a savior (09.03.2003)

Paul in OC:
Bush almost let the cat out of the bag, when he talked to the press that day.
But one thing is for certain, is that this administration agrees that Saddam Hussein is a threat and he will be -- that's a part of our thinking. And that hasn't changed.
Nothing he has done has convinced me -- I'm confident the Secretary of Defense -- that he is the kind of fellow that is willing to forgo weapons of mass destruction, is willing to be a peaceful neighbor, that is -- will honor the people -- the Iraqi people of all stripes, will -- values human life. He hasn't convinced me, nor has he convinced my administration.
