I wonder what this man will manage to destroy in the next two.

I'm sure you would agree that, if reelected, that would be an indication that you are wrong?

I miss the good old days of balanced budgets, economic boom, peace and tranquillity, surpluses, low crime, harmony with the ROW...a time during which Americans were not viewed as the likeness of a redneck from texas who can't speak two sentences and needs a scripted choreographed press conference during which no tough questions are allowed. God....what a fukking embarassment for this great nation.



Al, don't forget Bush is top gun even though he went AWOL for a year. Didn't he lie about that too?

UK accused of rewriting Iraq intelligence

The British Government has been accused of rewriting intelligence material about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction to help bolster the case for war.

It is an accusation hotly denied by Downing Street but is already prompting suggestions that Prime Minister Tony Blair may have deceived Parliament.

Last September, Mr Blair tabled an intelligence dossier in Parliament on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, which, according to the Prime Minister, posed a real and current danger, and could be ready for use within 45 minutes.

Now, more than 45 days after the war and with still no sight of any weapons of mass destruction, he has been accused by an unnamed senior intelligence official on the BBC of having the dossier rewritten to make it "sexier".

The information on the 45-minute mobilisation capability, for example, says the source was not in the original draft because it was not reliable.

Downing Street has angrily denied the accusation, and other security sources say the document was approved by all the agency heads.

Nonetheless, the continuing failure to discover Iraqi weapons of mass destruction has prompted some rebel MP's to suggest that Mr Blair may have misled the House.
