" "Among the disclosures made by Feith in "War and Decision," scheduled for release next month by HarperCollins, is Bush's declaration, at a Dec. 18, 2002, National Security Council meeting, that "war is inevitable." The statement came weeks before U.N. weapons inspectors reported their initial findings on Iraq and months before Bush delivered an ultimatum to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Feith, who says he took notes at the meeting, registered it as a "momentous comment."

Now we weren't told that, were we? Damn, someone should have remembered. "

We weren't told what Bush said, but everyone at the Zone including Bowser knew at that time that it was coming. The Clinton administration in 98 knew it was coming or "inevitable".
The only real question was would the actually President kick this down the road further or confront the issue. A possible error was that Bush didn't have this "momentous comment" to these guys earlier- though probably didn't want such comments leaked earlier to the press. And if National Security Council actually didn't know this, considering everything that was going on [including Bush speech to UN] then they would be less qualified to be in National Security Council than Bowser.

Quote from article:

"Despite its bulk, the book does not address some of the basic facts of the war, such as the widespread skepticism inside the top of the U.S. military about invading Iraq, with some generals arguing that doing so would distract attention from the war against global terrorists. Nor does Feith touch on the assertion of his fellow war architect, then-Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul D. Wolfowitz, that Iraq would be able to pay for its reconstruction with oil revenue."

Wouldn't it be much more significant if there wasn't "widespread skepticism"? For instance I would think that the Bay of Pigs invasion had less "widespread skepticism".
Meanwhile some had characterize it as "lockstep" and not enough discussion.
Another point of quoting this is to point out that the reconstruction would paid for with oil revenue- not the war would be paid for with oil revenue.
