Vanity Fair and Iraq

The Independent is reporting that Sir Christopher Meyer gives a detailed account - 25,000 words - to Vanity Fair magazine detailing, amongst other things, Bush's aim to invade Iraq. This dinner took place a mere nine days after 11 Sept. 2001.

This corroborates both O'Neill's and Clarke's assertions that Iraq, and ousting Saddam Hussein was a top priority of the Bush Administration.

Sir Christopher, former British ambassador to Washington, allegedly attended a private dinner where Bush asked for Blair's support in invading Iraq.

How many people have to come forward before Bush's facade of truthfulness comes crashing down?

Note: In a recent CBS Poll Bush lead Kerry by 47% to 29% in key 'battleground states' when asked, "does each candidate say what he believes?" This seems a demonstrably falsely held belief by the electorate. Either that, or Bush is delusional. A conclusion I am no longer willing to reject out of hand.
