Nearly all MPs scream in anger, papers condemn, families of Blackwatch condemn, it's mentioned the timing is excellent for the November election for Bush Jr.
The head of an Aid Agency is kidnapped, with a no-doubt saddingly predictable end to that story.
A bomb goes of yesterday killing & injuring over 100 Iraqis, busy enjoying the freedom and happiness brought on by our invasion.
And what's in the papers and news?
BORIS JOHNSON ANGERS SCALLIES!!!!!!!!!!!
HUNTLEY'S VOODOO RITUALS!!!!!!
COLDEST MONDAY SINCE TIME BEGAN!!!!!!!!
Is anybody actually buying this diversion horseshit?
Or are some, even if just some, people saying "Hey hang on a moment here, Blair refuses to apologise for leading us into a phony war based on inaccurate and fabricated evidence, as reported by the CIA-headed investigation. Why is nobody burning down the streets in anger over this?"
*shakes head*
As the proverb goes "The bigger the lie, the more people believe it"
But hey, enjoy your X-Factor/Celebrity Pigwanking/Soap Operas/Tabloids implicitly helping to keep us stupid and glass-eyed, obsessed with footballers and the asinine "sex secrets" of whomever-the-hell-this-week.

So, what's been happening? Good god man! The war topics [I]still[I] continue!

Probably because what's done is done, even if everyone in the street is hit by the realisation that Blair lied i doubt very much would happen.
What a joke. The unbelievable thing about it all is that both Bush and Blair will probably be re-elected which is a complete mockery of everything I've [B]ever[B] believed in.

Can you think of any reason why it wouldn't? Apart, of course, from people saying things like "i doubt (if) very much would happen" over and over again?
The Power of Nightmares was superb by the way. A nice overview of both the Straussian Neo-Con worldview (to make you see the truth, we must lie to you and make you believe those lies) and the rise of radical Islam (which, miffed at the people not rising up and joining them in jihad, decided that the people were corrupt. So to save the people, they must destroy the people. Didn't that style of thought go out with the Vietnam war?).
Worth watching if only to help you realise that the world is not full of people trying to kill you. The prime movers behind this whole mess could probably all fit into a lift together.

I imagine a scene, perhaps from a crapy ITV skit show, where one of them farts, causing the others to move to one side: a'la Police Academy.
