Bush: Mubarak Wanted Me To Invade Iraq
By Mohammad Sagha
November 13, 2010 " Foreign Policy" - -- In his new book, George W. Bush writes that he was under pressure not just from hawks in the United States to invade Iraq, but from Arab statesmen as well.
In a revealing passage, Bush writes that President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt "told Tommy Franks that Iraq had biological weapons and was certain to use them on [American] troops," a VOA article highlights. Bush goes on to say that Mubarak "refused to make the allegation in public for fear of inciting the Arab street."
Additionally, Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who served as the influential Saudi ambassador to the United States for over 20 years and who Bush calls "a friend of mine since dad's presidency" also wanted a "decision" to be made -- although this seems less direct an indictment than "Iraq has biological weapons and will use them against you."
So while the Arab street was firmly opposed to American intervention in Iraq, Arab heads of states were quietly and secretly either encouraging or tacitly endorsing allegations that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, a fact that was directly being used as the principal justification for invading the country.
Sound familiar?

When both Egypt and KSA wanted the US to tell Israel to get out of Lebanon in 2006, did it mean anything to Bush? Did the "birth pangs of democracy" suddenly diminish in intensity due to their intervention? Why did their counsel hold such sway in Iraq, but not in Lebanon? Hazard a guess?
T.
However there is some obvious truth in the Memoire.. The Muslims particularly the ARABs are deeply devided, hated and feared one another.
You can tell by the fact that THERE are NO 2 ALLIED MUSLIM NATIONS. even they are neighbours. even between Pakistan and Bangladesh!!!
They almost always stab one another's back for the WEST.. Indonesia vs Malaysia..
whereas the whole WESTERN NATIONS united UNDER ISRAEL..
I cannot escape the conclusion that Muslims are so stupid and the Jews are so clever..
And the Western peoples are so dumb slave
We have plenty of evidence that the Bush Adminstration and Blair's boys, "sexed up" the intelligence to justify and invations. There are the meetings between Cheney and big oil, dividing up Iraqs resources before 9-11. Murbarak did not attend.
Bush's book is selfing serving fiction.
Bandar, maybe. He was with Bush the night of 9-11. Bandar in no way represents the Saudi people or all its leadership.
