Bush Blair Memo
The Bush Blair Memo accuses the Bush administration of having predetermined plans for invasion of Iraq regardless of the findings by the weapon inspectors of UN in Iraq. The memo overviews a secret meeting that took place between the president of US, G.W.Bush and the prime minister of UK, Tony Blair, on January 31, 2003.
Like many other memos that have surfaced relating to the fabrication of evidence and preformed notions of invading Iraq, this memo has also become controversial for its content.
The memo describes President Bush floating with the idea of coaxing Iraq into shooting a spy plane. The spy plane was to be painted with UN colors and flown at a low altitude so that the Iraqi military would get provoked to shoot it down. This would provide the US and UK with a yet another reason for the invasion.
The memo also states a deal being made between the two, to carry out the invasion regardless of the findings of weapons inspectors on the WMD`s in Iraq.
Philippe Sands was the first person to allege the existence of such a memo. In his book `Lawless World` he described the memo as five pages long and classified as `extremely sensitive`. American Newspaper the New York Times later confirmed its authenticity after getting hold of it.
The memo is a topic of frequent discussion on various media channels. General consensus held by the media is towards its existence and authenticity.
