Bush, Blair and 88 Members of Congress – Let the fun begin

It seems that 88 members of congress want to know if the story in the London Times detailing the leak of a document from Tony Blairs inner circle that indicates that Britain had already signed on for the war in the summer of ’02.  The members have signed a letter penned by John Conyers (found it on RawStory.com) asking the president to ‘splain himself.

They want to know:

  • Did you or anyone in your Administration obtain Britain’s commitment to invade prior to this time?
  • Was there an effort to create an ultimatum about weapons inspectors in order to help with
    the justification for the war as the minutes indicate?
  • At what point in time did you and Prime Minister Blair first agree it was necessary to
    invade Iraq?
  • Was there a coordinated effort with the U.S. intelligence community and/or British
    officials to “fix” the intelligence and facts around the policy as the leaked document
    states?
  • Do you or anyone in your Administration dispute the accuracy of the leaked document?
  • Were arrangements being made, including the recruitment of allies, before you sought
    Congressional authorization go to war?

This ought to be good.
