And the Spanish newspaper El País is reporting that one month before launching the war on Iraq, President Bush claimed an invasion was inevitable and that he would punish governments not behind it. According to a Spanish government transcript, Bush told then-Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar: “Saddam Husein will not change and will continue playing; the moment has arrived for undoing of him.” Bush also reportedly said he would withdraw financial aid to Angola and freeze a trade agreement with Chile if they did not back the war. In the transcript, Aznar tells Bush he needs help in swaying Spanish public opinion and that he’s worried by Bush’s optimism. Bush responds: “I am optimistic because I believe I am right. I am at peace with myself.”
