Too many journalists have died covering Iraq not to be noticed. Few, if any, so called imbedded journalists have died. The Spanish are currently looking for the killers of their journalists and they don’t have to look very far. Amidst all the lies and subtefuge that have been this needless and all consuming war in Iraq, there stands out the greatest fear of all. Just what will the US administration (loosely termed) will do next? It has presided over the destruction of a country and it’s people. It has used indescriminately weapons of mass destruction including DU weapons, which are now effecting even their own forces. The British government under the PM Blair is just as guilty of the crimes that have been met against the people of Iraq. Just as they were when they cosied up to Saddam as he busily gassed his people in the late eighties under Thatchers rule. Bomb Al Jazeera? Would anyone put it past the Bush crowd to do this? After all if their own CIA agents are fair game, anything goes. The answer? Don’t wring your hands, change it!

Acryinthewilderness … “Blair deserves the Nobel Peace prize in the fture if he can restrain the lunatic another 3 years”

Blair is just as much a part of this war in Iraq as Bush is. What is your definition of restraint? This so called restraint has resulted in estimates of over 20,000 Iraq civilian deaths and over 2,000 US troops killed. One of the things I have always admired about the British people is that they are much more informed than the American people even though British journalist face much stricter laws when publishing anything about someone.

It’s been obvious from the start of the Bush administration that Tony Blair regards Bush as a lunatic…Blair is to be commended for doing the world a favor and acting like a “poodle” in order to try to restrain the mad cowboy from even greater harm…Blair deserves the Nobel Peace prize in the fture if he can restrain the lunatic another 3 years–unless the American people decide to get rid of him sooner, using the Constitutional Amendment to replace a president who is “impaired” and unable to perform his duties (rationally).

Aw come now you Brits, you broke the Nazi codes during WW2 and not one Churchillian type can come up with Smirkys, Blair, war bombing plans.

Not surprising at all. I don’t think many Americans truly understand how much of a dangerous idiot most Europeans really consider Bush to be. The public here detest the man, and he’s the commonest subject of ridicule. Most of us thought Blair was ok before he led us into this Iraq shambles. Now he’s a really unpopular PM with the general public.

Is there a British whistleblower somewhere to leak more on this? “Official Secrets Act” and all … I know,I know: its asking a lot; but a fire has been set in the world, and the authorities won’t even acknowledge the smoke.

In the opinion of former US ambassador Wilson (husband of the outed CIA agent), Blair may have been double-crossed by Bush and the “regime change crowd” in the White House and Pentagon:

So perhaps the story about Blair trying to hold Bush back bombing al Jazeera is not so far-fetched after all.

You can be as hard on the bush administration as you like. They deserve it. But please don’t be too hard on the American people. I for one, did not believe we should invade Iraq along with most Americans.This war was not about stopping terrorist. it was for oil. Google PNAC. The republican party had to steal elections so they could implement their plan. Most of the designers of PNAC are now serving in this administration. It is my understanding that Blair was threaten with economic ruin of Britian if he didn’t go along with bush. If we ever get rid of the e-voting machines and go back to paper ballots, the republicans will lose, and perhaps the democrates can bring back respect for America. Pray for us. Please. We need to get these thugs out of office.

Don’t forget that besides all the ordinary lying and manipulation of facts from by-now seasoned lyers and manipulators, “they” have the “ding an sich”—a veritable army of psy op people, Ph.D.’s in Psychology honed to twist the truth and your mind into a veriable pretzel. Remember the email from Zawahiri to Zarquawi that was forged, but imperfectly done enough that it was spotted as a forgery… nevertheless, the MSM never pointed it out and it is still quoted by right wingers as authentic back-up for some of their ideas.

Remember:
The media reports only what it is told. Leaks typically happen because someone within government ordered it for a reason. Both Blair and Bush have to continually lie themselves out of a previous lie or predicament in order to confuse the public. They are very adept at misleading and confusing the real issues. They practice it every day. Rule of thumb for bush: whatever is said through the media is in reality the exact opposite of the truth. It’s a simple codebreak. I wish the american public understood this. He’d be impeached on his first go around.
