Did Trent Lott Just Let The Cat Out Of The Bag?

Watching Meet The Press just now, with Trent Lott on (to talk a bit about his new book, "Herding Cats").  Lott appeared to forget momentarily about one of the cats and admitted that he had "private conversations with George Bush", "going back to just after 9/11" in which Bush talked about Iraq in way that would indicate Bush was already (at that early date) planning his War On Iraq.  Those watching MTP will have noticed how he appeared to realize what he was saying too late, and started the back-step.

We here know the truth of that period, but formal recognition of it from one of their own would finally give the lie (for others out there) to all of the protestations from Bush, et al., that he had sincerely pursued a peaceful resolution of the WMD issue with Saddam, that he had given the inspections time to work, etc.

If we don't write/yell/demand that the MSM pursue this with more questions to Lott about when, where, and how strongly he got the message that war was imminent, they will not even notice this little slip-up.

Let's go to work.
