Whoa! Spielberg supports Iraq war! Must be part of the Great Jew Anti-Arab Conspiracy for sure. Cruise too, even though he isn't Jewish. Might be an honorary member.

Blair recruits Clinton to help sell Iraq policy
Al Webb
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Published 9/27/2002

LONDON — Prime Minister Tony Blair has enlisted an old friend to help sell his tough policy on Iraq to critics within his governing Labor Party when they convene for their annual conference this weekend — former President Bill Clinton.
The five-day conference in Blackpool, which opens Sunday, is shaping up to be a major test for Mr. Blair, who already is struggling to sell his policy to a skeptical public.
Scores of Labor Party members of Parliament oppose military action against Baghdad, and some members of his Cabinet are threatening to resign if Britain goes to war against Iraq.
The prime minister is hoping that at least some of them will be swayed by Mr. Clinton, who is expected to praise Mr. Blair's tough stand against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in a major address to thousands of delegates at the conference.
Mr. Clinton, in an article for a special magazine put out for conference delegates, conceded that his "good friend Tony" has "plenty of critics," but said he found it "strange that some on the left [of the Labor Party] join in with a relish."
