"Iraq, Tony & the Truth"

1. Why not lie? Who's going to call them on it? Our press? The
Dems? No they are safe and can lie until they turn blue in the face. At times like these, I really wish there was a God to punish this type of stuff.

2. Check this video and you will feel encouraged
The facts are clear and the credibility of Bliar and George Bush is ZERO.

39. Who to turn to in times like these
I'm with you, Tallahassee. I've given up on the press and the congress. Now I'm moving up the food chain. I want these bastids SMOTE. No one has heard our calls for accountability.

3. screen shots from the video












and finally, this video reminded me of and old Bush/Blair spoof where they declare their love for each other in song. This funny little clip uses a lot of the same pre-war press conferences that are used in the BBC video. So while it is old, you may find it amusing. I certainly do.

Why not send the link to this vid to every damned MSM outlet we can find asking that they air it - starting with the ones who reported on DSM in the past 24 hours.

Too bad the latter four companies don't own any of the media. Where are you getting your "info"?

Let's get this to where it needs to go: representatives, fellow liberal blogs and constituents, local media.

33. Are They?
I don't know anyone here in the UK who's even heard of the Downing Street Minutes let alone have an opinion on it. And because I don't read the Sunday Times it's doubtful I would have heard about it if I didn't visit DU.

A lot of people may be cross with Blair over Iraq but I can assure you, it has nothing to do with the the DSM.

35. The polls before the election were saying that people in the
UK believed Blair lied to them about the invasion and that ties to the memos that were leaked, there were more than one, detailing the run up to the invasion.

Blair lied, say 59 per cent in new poll

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/09/30/1064819909288.html?from=storyrhs&oneclick=true

Given the BBC documentary Iraq, Tony and the Truth aired before the election as well as well as the commentary during the election when blair was losing seats was attributing it to Iraq.

Did British citizens state I voted against Blair because of the DSM, no, but they did say they voted against him because he lied which is what is shown in the DSM.

36. Cause and Effect
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 10:48 AM by mrfrapp
"Did British citizens state I voted against Blair because of the DSM, no, but they did say they voted against him because he lied which is what is shown in the DSM."

I'm not disputing that a great many people believe Blair lied but that belief is not a consequence of the minutes, I can assure you. People have come to the conclusion of Blair's mendacity independent of the DSM revelation. The minutes are simply the final nail in the coffin. Which is why the media in the UK is doing it's best to ignore it.

38. I agree with your point in that it was not the DSM, per se, that
the British citizens are angry about in isolation from all the other issues surrounding Blair's lies about Iraq. The poll I linked to shows that the majority already believed Blair lied and that was before the leak of the DSM.

When I answered the poster on the issue of British anger, it was not meant to infer it was the DSM alone that was causing the anger, only that they were and angry about Blair's lies in total.

43. The minutes did lead the news stories on the Sunday before the election
when the Sunday Times printed them. If you remember, the days between then and the election were basically about Blair's trustworthiness, due in large part to the minutes being released then. But after the election, when it became clear that those who cared that Blair lied to take us into an illegal war had intended to vote against him anyway, the story was dropped.

18. I'm told this program refers to an "other memo"
... which coincidentally I posted here, without having read this thread or seen the program. Anyway, you might want to check out the other memo, which I reproduce in full (it's not that easy to find) in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3809302

There were five others leaked at the same time. If you're interested, see the "analysis" link in my other post for the "best" bits and implications of them.

I have not been visiting DU as much the past few weeks as my work PC has been a bit under the weather the past 2-3 weeks.

Thanks

28. Here is the thread link with the other memo
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3809302



This memo is quoted from repeatedly in the BBC video so it is great to know that it was publicized even earlier than the DSM.

21. just watched this documentary
A very good program. Clear, concise and non-apologetic (VERY UNLIKE OUR OWN MEDIA)

This was released in March 2005 if I am not mistaken so how do we get this circulated.
