Remember why we went there? "Evildoers! Big Guns!! Huge Bombs!! Nuclear and Biological Apocalypse! 45 minutes until DOOMSDAY!!!"
Well, alas it's now been confirmed that the whole raison d'etre for the war was a fantasy on a par with anything Tolkein wrote.

And cue and increasingly bovine public not giving a damn about brown people suffering, just so long as they get their petrol and tax cuts innit?
Just goes to show, if you repeat the same lie often enough people will start to believe it.

Stupid Butler!
Why didn't he tell everyone while they were still listening?
But Downing Street said Mr Blair should be judged by results not his style.
Aye up... I'm sure I read something like this a few posts down...
This one made me laugh.
Gave me mental images of Osama Bin Laden hiding in the Whitehouse closet...
Not even a pretence of trying to be covert, just that retard "hyuck hyuck hyuck" smirk and saying "Nope, never gonna do anything about it"

"Mr Bush said there was no need to hold any of his officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgements in pre-war planning or managing the aftermath."
Yup, that's me absolutely foaming now.

The invasion of Iraq was far from a random whim, but more a small part of the US's continuing bid for world domination, which has been going on for decades. Many commentators on the left are saying it was a good thing Bush was re-elected, becoz he's such a f---wit.
If the invasion had been managed successfully they may have gone on to Iran, and who knows where else by now. Kerry would have continued this policy of 'liberal interventionism', but with more support from the 'international community', and in a more subtle and covert manner.
I think what Brown is trying to do with 3rd world debt at the moment is an encouraging sign, and the improved awareness of the public, as regards world politics, the environment, etc, is another cause for optimism. I haven't given up on the human race just yet
