Ugh. I'd hate to clean up your floor after you've finished playing with your UV ray roach killer.

anyone catch this

about Blair knowing in advance that Iraq was not a threat.

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.
