WASHINGTON "” Treasury Department officials want to know how a classified document appeared on national television during a controversial interview with former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill (search).

"It's based on the (CBS program) '60 Minutes' segment, and I'll be even more clear "” the document as shown on '60 Minutes' that said 'secret,'" Treasury spokesman Rob Nichols told reporters Monday.

O'Neill went on "60 Minutes" to allege that the United States began laying the groundwork for an invasion of Iraq just days after President Bush took office in January 2001 "” more than two years before the start of the U.S.-led war that ousted Saddam Hussein

I would hope that we were planning some sort of removal for this madman, at LEAST two years prior to actually taking action.

Do you mean to say that the previous president was NOT devising a plan? I mean, Clinton turned over all kinds of info on Hussein, and what a bad guy he was.

O`Neill was crying over spilt milk, nothing more.

Even diehard democrats will not attempt to run with this story, as it shows a man who is trying to get back at his former boss, and possibly compremising national security at the same time!

Hey, I would be willing to bet the farm, we have rough draft plans for attacking Syria, Iran, N. Korea, and several other countries.

Will we ever use those plans? Hey, lets hope not. I would rather they have a game plan than just make stuff up as they go along.

Come to think of it......I GOT IT!

O`Neill is.......Kathaksung!
