“The morning of Wednesday, December 18 [2002], President Bush had a private meeting with Spanish President Jose Maria Aznar, who supported a military confrontation with Iraq…[Bush said to Aznar] ‘At some point, we will conclude enough is enough and take him [Saddam] out. He’s a liar and has no intention of disarming…War is my last choice. Saddam Hussein is using his money to train and equip al Qaeda with chemicals, he’s harboring terrorists.’ ”
