Blair knew for a month...
I just caught MSNBC's latest shocker...Are you ready for this?
something like, "Blair knew a month before invasion that Saddam had no WMDs." (yeah, and they've been giving Mike Ditka a free campaign ad with repeated airing of "Mike Ditka for Senate?" Oh, the power of the question mark...)
Like its "NEW NEWS" or something. Bullshit! Every free country had doubts about the honesty of the 45 minutes claim-("45 or it's free Guarantee"). And there were many, many folks who have distanced themselves from this whole thing (like every civilized country in the free world).
SO NOW-- after all this time, it's NEWS on MSNBC that Mr. Blair knew there were no weapons. NO SHIT!! I remember A HUGE amount of Americans who knew better. All you had to do is listen to the news and you'd know that we've NEVER LEFT IRAQ! We've probably kept a real close eye on them. Obviously we knew the truth, and it was suppressed.
You can argue reasons, rationale, and ideology- but there can be no doubt that the dubious info we went to war on was disputed from the beginning. All my "O'Reilly Republican" pals thought, and swore up and down that this war was for oil anyway. We need it. They have it. And they were so glad that we had a "man with enough balls" to go in there and take it. They thought we'd all be getting cheaper and cheaper gas by now. Just to hear the silence now is almost worth it. Almost.
So with all the blood on our countrys hands, it's a fine time to remember- not to lay blame or anything, because we'll all suffer as a country for our leaders mistakes, but we fucking told you so.
