Hey, who needs conspiracy theories?  :-)

Bush Was Set on Path to War, Memo by British Adviser Says

In the weeks before the United States-led invasion of Iraq, as the United States and Britain pressed for a second 
United Nations resolution condemning Iraq, President Bush's public ultimatum to Saddam Hussein was blunt: Disarm or 
face war.

But behind closed doors, the president was certain that war was inevitable. During a private two-hour meeting in the 
Oval Office on Jan. 31, 2003, he made clear to Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain that he was determined to invade 
Iraq without the second resolution, or even if international arms inspectors failed to find unconventional weapons, 
said a confidential memo about the meeting written by Mr. Blair's top foreign policy adviser and reviewed by The New 
York Times.

But it's unclear who in the US would have standing to ask that question
under your "If you aren't the one who..." guidelines.  So tell me - 
who
*is* allowed to ask that question?
