Blair in Secret Plot with Bush to Dupe U.N.
by Simon Walters

A White House leak revealing astonishing details of how Tony Blair and George Bush lied about the Iraq war is set to cause a worldwide political storm.

A new book exposes how the two men connived to dupe the United Nations and blows the lid off Mr Blair's claim that he was a restraining influence on Mr Bush.

He offered his total support for the war at a secret White House summit as Mr Bush displayed his contempt for the UN, made a series of wild threats against Saddam Hussein and showed a devastating ignorance about the catastrophic aftermath of the war.

Based on access to information at the highest level, the book by leading British human rights lawyer Philippe Sands QC, Professor of Law at London University, demonstrates how the two men decided to go to war regardless of whether they obtained UN backing.

1. Very interesting- I was just trying to remember when the last
time the two of them were together. I think it has been a while. You don't hear much about their fab relationship these days.

6. Talifano had this on his radio show last night (or early this AM!).
He said it was going to be in the US papers on Tuesday, I think.

Apparently it's a scathing group of atatements against both Shrub and Blair.

It's linked to the Downing St. memos that were released about a year ago.

10. We know this could never be true,

because if it was true, Bush and the Poodle would have engaged in a (GASP) CONSPIRACY!!! And there are no such things as government conspiracies, just :tinfoilhat: conspiracy theorists.
