OT:US don't qualify for EU membership, don't spank children, WW2 history.

Heard that earlier today as well Tesco. Although as usual the details don't match the hedalines. There is no proof here that Blair "knew Iraq wasn't an imminent threat". All we have here is a memo from one of the people advising Blair. The opinoin of one of his analysts that Iraq wasn't a threat.

It was never stated that the belief of Iraq's threat was unanimous. Of course there were desenting opinions among Blair and Bush's cabinets. In any group of advisors you are going to get twice as many opinions as you have advisors. There were many people advising them that Iraq was a serious and imminent threat as well. They decided to believe them. That doesnt mean they lied.

I wonder whether the information about what was going on prior to the Iraq war fits under the US not qualifying for EU membership, not spanking children or WW2 history.

Everytime I see this threads title, I feel like we need a new thread about "European countries do not qualify for US statehood." It would be interesting to see what tidbits of information would pop up there. We do so need another thread pointing out all of the evils of the US and its allies. It would be so much better for the world if we just didn't exist. I'm sure that the world would be a harmonious paradise if the US wasn't around to mess everything up.

if the USA was not around then we would replace the word USA with either canada or mexico.

Who knows, maybe the French would own the place. That sure would have put an interesting twist on history!

Sorry Tesco, it was a bad day by 11am. Just a little tired, I guess. You've got to admit that this thread really stretches its off-topicness, though. (And, I'm still trying to figure out what on earth we would want to have to do with a mess like the EU, anyway.

)
