Bush's Plans Before 9/11

A reader writes:

Your statement "If I recall correctly, George W. Bush was pretty
much uninterested in dropping bombs on Arab and Muslim countries until
a large, diverse group of Arabs, operating out of the Muslim country
of Afghanistan, attacked the United States on September 11th, 2001,
murdering more than three thousand people." is wrong. As we know now
(and as is documented in many good books), Bush/Cheney had plans drawn
out to attack Iraq even before 9/11, and the first thing they wanted
to find out on that day was whether Iraq was behind it (to give them a
convenient excuse to attack the country).

Point taken, though I don't entirely agree. Bush, in particular, was not focused on Iraq before 9/11 (much less focused, in fact, than Bill Clinton, who actually did drop bombs on Iraq before 9/11).  Plans? Everyone had plans to attack Iraq.
