It is even worse.: "British Attorney-General Lord Goldsmith was at the meeting. He had to think up a justification for the war in international law. Britain is in Europe, and Europe takes international law seriously. You could have war crimes trials. (Remember that Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet almost got tried in Spain for killing 5000 people in the 1970s).

Goldsmith was as nervous as a cat in a roomful of rocking chairs: 'The Attorney-General said that the desire for regime change was not a legal base for military action. There were three possible legal bases: self-defence, humanitarian intervention, or UNSC authorisation. The first and second could not be the base in this case. Relying on UNSCR 1205 of three years ago would be difficult. The situation might of course change.'"

But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.
: "British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw admitted it at the meeting: 'It seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take military action, even if the timing was not yet decided. But the case was thin. Saddam was not threatening his neighbours, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran.'"

Bush was lying to the American people at the time and saying that no final decision had been made on the war: "Godfrey Sperling of the Christian Science Monitor could write on August 27, 2002, 'Indeed, Bush has said he welcomes a 'debate' on Iraq from those in Congress and from the public. But he has made it clear that he will make his decision based on what his intelligence people are telling him.'"

Secret British Memo Shows Bush Tampered with Iraq Intelligence
: "The head of MI6, or the foreign intelligence service of the UK, is known as 'C.'

Here is the smoking gun:


'C [Dearlove] reported on his recent talks in Washington. There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

THERMOACOUSTIC RESONATOR - Thermoacoustic Cycle engine: "A Thermoacoustic Cycle engine is typically comprised of a resonant cavity in the approximate shape of a cylinder, tube or torus, in which a working fluid resides, and in which an applied difference in thermal potential, across internal isothermal heat exchangers that are separated by a regenerative heat exchanger (stack) and spaced along the length of the resonant cavity by a nominal wavelength or fraction thereof, produce and amplify acoustic waves which transport thermal energy from one heat exchanger to another, and maintain a state of oscillation, or periodic thermal and acoustic flux, in the working fluid. To extract useful work from the engine, the oscillating pressure component can be applied to a mechanical member, such as a piston, in order to perform reciprocating work, and thereby used to perform tasks such as pumping fluids or generating electrical energy. The maxima, or peak pressure points in the traveling thermoacoustic wave train, also transport thermal energy in accordance with the pressure-temperature relationship in a gas, as described in Charles Law, and this property can be employed in a reverse entropy cycle to produce refrigeration."
