Ex-advisor says Bush eyed bombing of Iraq on 9/11

New York, Mar 20: Former White House anti-terrorism advisor, Richard Clarke said that the Iraq attack was planned after 9/11.

A former White House anti-terrorism advisor said the Bush
administration considered bombing Iraq in retaliation after Sept. 11, 2001 even though it was clear al Qaeda had carried out the attacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon.

Richard Clarke, who headed a cybersecurity board that gleaned
intelligence from the internet, yesterday said that he was surprised that administration officials turned immediately toward Iraq instead ofal Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden.
