'60 Minutes' has an interview with Paul O'Neill around the new book the former treasury secretary has written with Ron Suskind, in which he says that the Bush White House decided, almost as soon as the inauguration was over, that Saddam would be deposed.

"It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it. The president saying ‘Go find me a way to do this,’" says O’Neill. “For me, the notion of pre-emption, that the U.S. has the unilateral right to do whatever we decide to do, is a really huge leap.”

The problem is, as we were saying over brunch today, that the vast majority of people just flat out don't care.
