First, we take Iraq...
En la época en que George Bush aún sufría de delirios de grandeza, le contó a Blair en una conversación telefónica que Irak era sólo el comienzo. Derrocar a Sadam era el primer paso en su política contra la proliferación de armas nucleares. La lista de países sospechosos es interesante:
George Bush told the Prime Minister two months before the invasion of Iraq that Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran and North Korea may also be dealt with over weapons of mass destruction, a top secret Downing Street memo shows.
Lo cuenta The Independent citando un informe secreto que ahora aparece en un libro del que es autor Philippe Sands, abogado especialista en derecho internacional:
"The conversation seems to indicate that Iraq was not seen as an isolated issue but as a first step in relation to a broader project," Sands said. "What is interesting is the mention of Saudi Arabia, which to the best of my knowledge had not at that time been identified particularly as a country with WMD. An alternative view is that the mention of Saudi Arabia indicates that the true objectives were not related exclusively to WMD."
Eran otros tiempos.

Joer, luego dicen, pero lo difícil es no estereotipar a estos elementos.
